Responses of understory plants
Project team: Amber McMillan (Western Sydney University), David Ellsworth (Western Sydney University), Kristine Crous (Western Sydney University)
Project period: 2022 – ongoing
Summary
The aim of the project is breefly to assess understory (10 species) CO2 response curves with fertilisation. We have made mostly photosynthesis and respiration measurements in response to CO2 and/or temperature. Including 2026 (once finished), we will have 3 years of CO2 response curves on understory plants on 10 species.
Findings so far: Some understory leaves may not like P fertilsation as much, but we are still in the process of analysing this
