Zusammenfassung |
Plants exchange greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and water with the
atmosphere through the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration, making
them essential in climate regulation. Carbon dioxide and water exchange are
typically coupled through the control of stomatal conductance, and the
parameterization in many models often predict conductance based on
photosynthesis values. Some environmental conditions, like exposure to high
ozone (O3) concentrations, alter photosynthesis independent of stomatal
conductance, so models that couple these processes cannot accurately predict
both. The goals of this study were to test direct and indirect
photosynthesis and stomatal conductance modifications based on O3
damage to tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) in a coupled Farquhar/Ball-Berry model. The same
modifications were then tested in the Community Land Model (CLM) to
determine the impacts on gross primary productivity (GPP) and transpiration
at a constant O3 concentration of 100 parts per billion (ppb).
Modifying the Vcmax parameter and directly modifying stomatal
conductance best predicts photosynthesis and stomatal conductance responses
to chronic O3 over a range of environmental conditions. On a global
scale, directly modifying conductance reduces the effect of O3 on both
transpiration and GPP compared to indirectly modifying conductance,
particularly in the tropics. The results of this study suggest that
independently modifying stomatal conductance can improve the ability of
models to predict hydrologic cycling, and therefore improve future climate
predictions. |
