An investigation of photosynthetic C-fixation in fynbos growth forms and its variation with season and environmental conditions

Bibliography: pages 162-177. / The seasonal and diurnal patterns of photosynthetic gas exchange and the water relations of seven species of the mediterranean-climate region of South Africa (fynbos) were investigated. The following species, representing the major fynbos elements, were chosen for intensive investigation: Erica plukenetii and Erica hispidula (ericoid element), Thamnochortus lucens and Askidiosperma paniculatum (restioid element), Protea laurifolia and Leucadendron salignum (proteoid element). Metrosideros angustifolia, a shrub of riparian habitats, was also studied.
