Why and How Terrestrial Plants Exchange Gases with Air
This work is intended as a review of gas exchange processes between the
atmosphere and the terrestrial vegetation, which have been known for more
than two centuries since the discovery of photosynthesis. The physical and
biological mechanisms of exchange of carbon dioxide, water vapour, volatile
organic compounds emitted by plants and air pollutants taken up by them,
is critically reviewed. The role of stomatal physiology is emphasised, as it
controls most of these processes. The techniques used for measurement of
gas exchange fluxes between the atmosphere and vegetation are outlined.
