| Abstract | Key message Efflux-based estimates of stem respiration in oak trees during the dormant season were biased by axial diffusion of locally respired CO 2 . Light-induced axial CO 2 diffusion along the stem due to woody tissue photosynthesis may lead to equivocal estimates of stem respiratory coefficients during the dormant season, which are generally used to estimate maintenance respiration throughout the year. Context Stem CO2 efflux (EA) does not reflect respiratory rates of underlying tissues. Recent research has focused on the significance of CO2 transport via the transpiration stream. However, no studies have yet addressed the potential role of light-induced axial CO2 diffusion on EA during the dormant season when there is no transpiration. Aims This study investigated to which extent woody tissue photosynthesis and axial diffusion of respired CO2 affect EA during the dormant season. Methods EA was measured in a stem cuvette on dormant oak trees in a growth chamber at constant temperature. Different rates of axial CO2 diffusion were induced by woody tissue photosynthesis by means of illuminating stem sections at varying distances from the stem cuvette, while light was excluded from the remainder of the tree. Results Axial diffusion of respired CO2 led to reductions in EA of up to 22% when the stem section closest to the cuvette was exposed to light. Conclusion Dormant-season efflux-based estimates of stem respiration might be biased by axial diffusion of respired CO2, particularly in open forest stands with sufficient light penetration. Consequently, this may lead to ambiguous estimates of dormant season EA coefficients (Q10 and EA_0) generally used to estimate maintenance respiration throughout the year. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
