Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase content was decreased in Q. pubescens grown under elevated CO2 concentrations, but not in Q. ilex. Photosynthesis was consistently higher in Q. pubescens grown at elevated CO2 as compared with “control” sites, whereas the response in Q. ilex was less pronounced. Stomatal conductance was lower in both species leading to decreased transpiration and increased instantaneous water use efficiency in Q. pubescens. Overall mean sugar + starch concentrations of the leaves were not affected by elevated pCO2, but phloem exudates contained higher concentrations of soluble sugars. This finding suggests increased transport to sinks. Qualitative changes in major carbon-bearing compounds, such as structural biomass and lignins, were only found in bark but not in other tissues. These results support the concept that the maintenance of increased rates of photosynthesis after long-term acclimation to elevated pCO2 provides a means of optimization of water relations under arid climatic conditions but does not cause an increase in aboveground carbon sequestration per unit of tissue in Mediterranean oak species.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miglietta, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raschi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Körner, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaccari, F P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isotope discrimination and photosynthesis of vegetation growing in the Bossoleto CO 2 spring</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemosphere</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elevated CO2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grassland vegetation (voyant)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">isotopic discrimination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photosynthetic capacity</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">771-776</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Bossoleto CO2 spring emits CO2 which has a stable carbon isotopic ratio (~5~3C = - 8%o). We determined ~3C on leaves of several individual species growing in Bossoleto and in a nearby control site at ambient CO,.. ~5t3C was 6% more negative in leaves of species collected from the grassland community of Bossoleto, indicating increased discrimination (A) against the heavy carbon isotope. No such changes were found in ruderal species growing in the same spring, suggesting that photosynthetic capacity was much less affected. A was substantially increased under elevated CO2 in leaves of Quercus pubescens but not in Quercus ilex, which also did not show any increase in non-structural carbohydrates.

The study was conducted on trees growing in a naturally enriched CO2 spring. Sap velocity and sap flow were measured by the heat pulse technique. On the same trees, daily courses of xylem water potential, leaf conductance and transpiration were monitored. Plant water relations were evaluated by pressure-volume analysis method on shoots; on the same branches, relative conductivity of xylem was measured. Both species exhibited increased osmotic potential and decreased symplasmic fraction of water in trees adapted to increased CO2. Downy oak showed lower stomatal conductance under elevated CO2, but holm oak did not. Both species displayed higher sap flow in control trees. In both species, increased carbon dioxide did not influence xylem embolism formation.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaves, M M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pereira, J S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cerasoli, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CliftonBrown, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miglietta, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raschi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaves J.

This is expressed, for example, by the absence of midday stomatal closure in trees growing under elevated CO2. Some protection against high irradiance and high temperature seems also to occur at the photochemical level, presumably as a result of more carbon available to the consumption of excess light energy. This would allow a better performance of the plants grown under elevated CO2 during the warmer hours of the day and therefore playing an important adaptation role under drought conditions. A marginal increase in the concentration of soluble sugars and starch was observed in the leaves of trees growing at elevated CO2 as compared with plants at ambient CO2, mainly during the midday hours. We may speculate that this will be advantageous both in terms of carbohydrate reserves for growth (e.g. more roots) and osmotic adjustment.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 2 (Leaf metabolism during summer drought in Quercus ilex trees with lifetime exposure to elevated CO2 - Chaves, M M; Pereira, J S; Cerasoli, S; CliftonBrown, J; Miglietta, F; Raschi, A)</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 2 (Leaf metabolism during summer drought in Quercus ilex trees with lifetime exposure to elevated CO2 - Chaves, M M; Pereira, J S; Cerasoli, S; CliftonBrown, J; Miglietta, F; Raschi, A)</style></research-notes><label><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fisiologia - CO2 elevado</style></label></record></records></xml>
