  • Inorganic carbon assimilation in the Isoetids, Isoetes lacustris L. and Lobelia dortmanna L.

    Open AccessK Richardson, Chrisanthi Avgerou et al.ARTICLEOecologia1984

    The inorganic carbon fixation patterns of Isoetes lacustris and Lobelia dortmanna from an oligotrophic Scottish loch have been examined by following titratable acidity changes in plant sap and light/dark 14 CO 2 incorporation by roots and shoots. The diurnal pattern of titratable acidity changes in I. lacustris suggests crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) while the lack of any change in titratable acidity in L. dortmanna suggests C 3 metabolism. O…
