• Life-cycle analysis and the ecology of biofuels.

  Biofuels have been proposed as an ecologically benign alternative to fossil fuels. There is, however, considerable uncertainty in the scientific liter…

• Role of cysteine proteinase inhibitors in preference of Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica) for soybean (Glycine max) leaves of different ages and grown under elevated CO2.

  Elevated levels of CO(2), equivalent to those projected to occur under global climate change scenarios, increase the susceptibility of soybean foliage…

• The effect of carbon dioxide enrichment on apparent stem respiration from Pinus taeda L. is confounded by high levels of soil carbon dioxide.

  Respiration supports growth and maintenance processes and returns a substantial portion of the CO(2) fixed by photosynthesis to the atmosphere each ye…

• Net carbon exchange and evapotranspiration in postfire and intact sagebrush communities in the Great Basin.

  Invasion of non-native annuals across the Intermountain West is causing a widespread transition from perennial sagebrush communities to fire-prone ann…

• Indirect suppression of photosynthesis on individual leaves by arthropod herbivory.

  BACKGROUND: Herbivory reduces leaf area, disrupts the function of leaves, and ultimately alters yield and productivity. Herbivore damage to foliage ty…

• Respiratory oxygen uptake is not decreased by an instantaneous elevation of [CO2], but is increased with long-term growth in the field at elevated [CO2].

  Averaged across many previous investigations, doubling the CO2 concentration ([CO2]) has frequently been reported to cause an instantaneous reduction …

• A method for quantitative analysis of spatially variable physiological processes across leaf surfaces.

  Many physiological processes are spatially variable across leaf surfaces. While maps of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, gene expression, water t…

• Relationships between net photosynthesis and foliar nitrogen concentrations in a loblolly pine forest ecosystem grown in elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide.

  We examined the effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) on the relationship between light-saturated net photosynthesis (A(sat)) and a…

• The differential effects of herbivory by first and fourth instars of Trichoplusia ni (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on photosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana.

  The effect of different feeding behaviours of 1st and 4th instar Trichoplusia ni on photosynthesis of Arabidopsis thaliana var. Columbia was character…

• Comparison of photosynthetic damage from arthropod herbivory and pathogen infection in understory hardwood saplings.

  Arthropods and pathogens damage leaves in natural ecosystems and may reduce photosynthesis at some distance away from directly injured tissue. We quan…
