Research
The Workgroup of Ecophysiology of Photosynthesis is engaged in a deeper study of common plant physiological process- photosynthesis. Team is focused on estimation of assimilation ability especially of forest tree species grown e.g. under the dynamic light conditions or under the elevated concentration of CO2. Simultaneously the probability of synergic effects of the other environmental factors and influence of feedback reactions on the regulation of CO2 assimilation rate are observed- that means the principles of systems ecology are applied.
Assimilation ability is determined as CO2 assimilation rate, which is measured by the open gas exchange system LI-6400 (
Team is in long-term cooperation with Faculty of Science OU in
