PS Webinar Series: PhD Exit Seminar - Dynamics of water and carbon dioxide gas-exchange through the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves »
Accurate estimation of gas exchange parameters has always been a fundamental aim of plant physiologists; from the more general assumptions and calculations presented by Moss and Rawlins (1963) up to the widely used model introduced by von Caemmerer and Farquhar (1981).
