Green, TGA/ Snelgar, WP 1982: Carbon dioxide exchange in lichens: relationship between the diffusive resistance of carbon dioxide and water vapour. - Lichenologist14: 255-260. [RLL List # 117-29 / Rec.# 7018] Keywords: CO2 EXCHANGE/ NEW ZEALAND/ STICTACEAE/ ADAPTATION/ WATER RELATIONS
Abstract: 3 figures. [Study done on members of the Stictaceae from New Zealand showed that "... carbon dioxide and water vapour exchange occur by different pathways in these lichens. Consequently it is suggested that the lichens have structural adaptations which separate the functions of water uptake, water storage and carbon dioxide exchange."]
