The photosynthetic processes of two ecologically-matched, herbaceousAtriplexspecies differed in their response to SO2fumigations.Atriplex triangularis, a C3species, was more sensitive than the C4species,A. sabulosa. This difference in sensitivity can be attributed in part to the higher conductance of the C3species in normal air and saturating light as well as greater stimulation of stomatal opening following exposure to SO2. In addition, photosynthetic mechanisms of the C3species had higher intrinsic SO2sensitivity than the C4species. Differences between photosynthetic responses of these two species may also reflect differences in morphological configuration of mesophyll tissues and greater SO2sensitivity of the initial photosynthetic carboxlating enzyme of the C3species. It is likely that certain of the differences in photosynthetic SO2sensitivity of these contrasting C3and C4Atriplexspecies are characteristic of C3and C4plants in general.
