Abstract

This leaf gas exchange protocol enables light or CO2 response curves using a LI-COR LI-6400 portable photosynthesis system. The protocol originates in PrometheusWiki (http://prometheuswiki.publish.csiro.au/) where it has been tested and verified, and has received favourable user reviews. This reformatted and non-editable version is published as a Gold Leaf Protocol. For the most current version, including any user-commentary updates, readers may view the live version of the protocol at http://bit.ly/PWLicorGold.

Additional keywords: gas exchange, Li-Cor, photosynthesis, transpiration, leaf temperature, conductance.
