Abstract

The interactive effects of water stress and temperature on the CO₂ response of photosynthesis was studied in Salix sp. cv. Aquatica using the closed IRGA system. A semi-empirical model was used to describe the CO₂ response of photosynthesis. The interactive effect of water stress and temperature was divided into two components: the change in CO₂ conductance and the change in the photosynthetic capacity. The CO₂ conductance was not dependent on the temperature when the willow plant was well watered, but during water stress it decreased as the temperature increased. The photosynthetic capacity of the willow plant increased along with an increase in temperature when well-watered, but during water stress temperature had quite opposite effect.
