Net carbon assimilation rate (A) (A), internal CO2 concentration (Ci) (B), transpiration rate (E) (C), stomatal conductance (gs) (D), Rubisco maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax) (E), water use efficiency (A/E) (F), dark respiration (RN) (G) and A/RN ratio (H) in Dipteryx alata seedlings exposed to continuous irrigation (control, CT), one drought cycle (1D) and three drought cycles (3D) for 6 days. Means followed by the same letter do not differ from each other by the SNK test (P ≤ 0.05).
