“…At the physiological level, net photosynthesis is reduced, dark respiration is increased (Barnes, 1972), and C transport to roots is lowered (McLaughlin and McConathy, 1983). Other physiological impacts include coincident and long-term reductions in stomata1 conductance (Hill and Littlefield, 1969;Reich and Amundson, 1985;Coyne and Bingham, 1982), accelerated leaf senescence (Reich, 1983;Jensen, 1982;Noble and Jensen, 1980;Reich and Lassoie, 1985), reduced root/shoot ratio (Hogsett et al, 1985a;Chappelka and Chevone, 1986), and increased foliar leaching (Rehfuess et al, 1982).…”
