From field gas-exchange measurements onArbutus unedogrowing in Portugal, parameter values necessary to apply an analytical, physiologicallybased model ofC3photosynthesis were obtained. The model successfully simulated measured diurnal photosynthetic responses inArbutusduring periods without water stress, under both natural and CO2-saturating conditions. The model was used to analyze those factors limiting primary productivity during each of the experimental days. Due to a large investment in ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration capacity, irradiance was rarely limiting, even during cloudy periods, but the limitation imposed by stomatal conductance was quite large, averaging over 30%. The fact that experimental leaves were maintained in a horizontal position is at least partially responsible for these results. Possible other reasons for this apparent excess of RuBP regeneration capacity visa-vis RuBP carboxylase-oxygenase concentration are discussed.
