The real-time measurement of net photosynthesis and dark respiration of plants has been possible since the development of the infra-red analyzer and its application in the 1940's. This technique has allowed intensive investigations of the mechanisms and dynamics of carbon dioxide assimilation by green plants (Sestak, Catsky, and Jarvis, 1971). As a result, physiologic and ecologic aspects of net carbon dioxide exchange are the subject of much research (eg, Osmond, Bjorkman and Anderson, 1980).
