| Abstract: | A system has been developed to automatically measure the effects of air pollutants in the ambient air on the rate of CO2 exchange by intact leaves of citrus trees growing in the field. A miniaturized system utilizing the same nondispersive infrared CO2 analyzer has been designed to study individually the effects of different concentrations of air pollutants on photosynthesis and respiration by plants. |
