Photosynthetic capacity

... those terms. Maximum photosynthetic rate- rate where production = max capacity of plant to bond carbon into molecules and capture energy Light Compensation Point- minimum photosynthetic activity needed for respiration to occur and no loss of energy (stored) on the plant's part. Net assimilation- ...

Photosynthetic capacity

Hello, Could you explain me the difference (or the similarity) between these terms : Rate of net photosynthesis Net assimilation rate (NAR) Light compensation point Maximum photosynthetic rate Is it possible, for exemple, to calculate the "Net assimilation rate" if I have the "Rate ...
