摘要
The effect of atmospheric water vapor (AV) on plants has mostly been neglected in climate impact studies. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of AV on photosynthesis (P-n), dry matter production (DM), transpiration (T-r), leaf conductance (g(l)) and water use efficiency (WUE), in climate controlled chambers. The relative humidity (RH) was held near 30, 60, and 85%. DM and WUE increased with RH. delta DM/delta RH similar to 0.3 from 30% to 60% and similar to 2.2 from 60% to 85%, delta WUE/delta RH similar to 0.2 for all RH's. The improved WUE at a rate of 0.2 units for each percent of increased RH resulted from a synergy between larger gl and lower Tr at high RH. This conclusions carries a bleak message to dry regions.
