Seasonal and Diurnal Patterns of Carbon Assimilation, Stomatal Conductance and Leaf Water Potential in Eucalyptus tetrodonta Saplings in a Wet¿Dry Savanna in Northern Australia

Abstract

Seasonal and diurnal trends in carbon assimilation, stomatal conductance and leaf water potential were studied using 1-3 m tall saplings of Eucalyptus tetrodonta (F.Muell.). The study site was in an unburnt savanna near Darwin, where rainfall is strongly
