The factors limiting light-saturated net photosynthesis al natural carbon dioxide concentrations were examined in seven woody or herbaceous species possessing a wide range of maximum photosynthetic rates. In most cases the rate of photosynthesis was linearly related to the ambient carbon dioxide concentration up to 300 ppm, but in some leaves with a low light-saturated rate of net photosynthesis, the rates of chemical processes also seemed to be limiting. When photosynthesis was limited only by the rate of transfer of carbon dioxide from the ambient air to the reaction sites in the chloroplasts, the resistances to carbon dioxide transfer could be calculated. The differences among the species in net photosynthetic rates were caused by differences in both stomatal and mesophyll resistance but the variation in the stomatal resistance was considerably larger than the variation in the mesophyll resistance. Within the species the variation in the minimum stomatal resistance was rather large in some cases whereas the variation in the mesophyll resistance was generally small. Uptake of carbondioxide in light through the adaxial cuticle of hypostomatous leaves was negligible or undetectable. Cuticular transpiration, on the other hand, varied appreciably both among and, in some cases, within species. The cuticular resistance to water vapour transfer was increased by intense light and reduced by increasing the leaf temperature from 17 to 22 C.
