Table 3 Comparisons of the optimal photosynthetic environment (net radiation (Rn), air temperature (Ta), vapor pressure deficit (VPD), soil water content (SWC) at 5 cm depth) and maximum photosynthetic capacity (GPPmax) before and after thinning.
From: Thinning altered the optimum photosynthetic environment in a subtropical coniferous plantation
Thinning treatment | Rn (J m− 2 s− 1) | Ta (°C) | VPD (kPa) | SWC (m3 m− 3) | GPPmax (mg CO2 m− 2 s− 1) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
pre-thinning | 692.85 ± 51.38 | 23.43 ± 5.71 | 0.96 ± 0.14 | 0.20 ± 0.04 | 0.98 ± 0.30 |
post-thinning | 693.92 ± 53.96 | 26.70 ± 4.16 | 1.10 ± 0.13 | 0.21 ± 0.05 | 1.11 ± 0.31 |
