Laboratory measurements of net carbon dioxide exchange in relation to light and temperature were made on Dicranum fuscescens Turn, at Schefferville, Quebec (latitude 55° N), during the summer of 1974. Net CO2 exchange was measured using an open-flow infrared gas analysis system. Moss samples were collected from two field sites (a lowland lichen woodland and highland semitundra region) immediately before the experiments. Temperature optima for photosynthesis in plants from both sites showed acclimation to higher temperatures in the middle of the season. Measured maximum rates of photosynthesis, attained in early July, equalled 2.1 mg CO2∙g dry weight−1∙h−1 in plants from the highland site and 0.74 mg CO2∙g dry weight−1∙h−1 in those from the lowland lichen woodland. Dark respiration rates showed no seasonal temperature acclimation. Radiation levels required for saturation of photosynthesis at optimum temperatures showed an increase from early season through midseason in samples from both populations. A reve...
