Epiphytes and light flecks in the understorey
Light flecks may play an important role for carbon gain by understorey plants. Zotz and Mikona (pp. 353-359) test the hypothesis that epiphytes differ from terrestrial plants by giving a higher priority to water conservation. Photosynthetic induction both in the laboratory and in the field, and in situ carbon gain are compared with calculations based on a steady-state model.
