We tested whether cheap and quick chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence can be used in ecophysiological field studies as proxies for gas-exchange measurements. We measured net photosynthetic rate at saturating irradiance and ambient atmospheric CO2 concentrations (P (Nsat)), maximum carboxylation rate (V-cmax), maximum quantum yield of PSII (F-v/F-m), the performance index (PIabs), leaf nitrogen (Narea), and carbon isotope discrimination (Delta C-13) within four herbaceous species along two elevational gradients. We analysed the relationship between Chl fluorescence and gas-exchange parameters and their link to indirect assessment of plant performance via ecophysiological traits. F-v/F-m showed no relationship to P (Nsat) and only weak relationships to V-cmax. PIabs was positively related to P (Nsat) and V-cmax. PIabs, P (Nsat), and V-cmax were positively associated with N-area and negatively to Delta C-13, whereas F-v/F-m showed no relationship to Narea and a positive to Delta C-13. Thus, PIabs might be suitable to characterize the photosynthetic activity when aiming on large numbers of samples.
