Students from AOS 155, Ecosystem-Atmosphere Interactions, measure the light environment of shrub vegetation at Stunt Ranch UC Reserve in the Santa Monica mountains
Students from AOS 155, Ecosystem-Atmosphere Interactions, measure leaf gas exchange of native CA plants in the mediterranean section of UCLA's Botanical Garden
The students collect data with the Licor Li-6400 to compare photosynthetic capacity and carbon uptake of two native plant species with contrasting life strategies: drought-deciduous vs evergreen. During the hot, dry summer in southern CA, plants in coastal sage scrub communities typically drop their leaves. In contrast, many plants in chaparral ecosystems keep their leaves year-round as they have deeper roots with more stable access to water throughout the year. To compensate for the lack of summer activity, the drought-deciduous sage plants have about three times higher photosynthetic rates than the evergreen chaparral plants during the growing season.
