TY - T1 - Sunflecks in the upper canopy : dynamics of light-use efficiency in sun and shade leaves of Fagus sylvatica SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/346666 T3 - A1 - Durand, Maxime; Stangl, Zsofia R.; Salmon, Yann; Burgess, Alexandra J.; Murchie, Erik H.; Robson, T. Matthew A2 - PB - Y1 - 2022 LA - eng AB - Sunflecks are transient patches of direct radiation that provide a substantial proportion of the daily irradiance to leaves in the lower canopy. In this position, faster photosynthetic induction would allow for higher sunfleck-use efficiency, as is commonly reported in the literature. Yet, when sunflecks are too few and far between, it may be more beneficial for shade leaves to prioritize efficient photosynthesis under shade. We investigated the temporal dynamics of photosynthetic induction, rec...
