Differential Effects of Lichens versus Liverworts Epiphylls on Host Leaf Traits in the Tropical Montane Rainforest, Hainan Island, China
Figure 3
Estimated photosynthetic parameters of Photinia prunifolia colonized with lichens and liverworts, pre- versus postremoval (mean ± 1 SE) (). (a) Respiration rate (), (b) maximum rates of photosynthesis (), (c) light compensation point (LCP), and (d) light saturation point (LSP). The symbol indicates the difference of photosynthetic parameters between pre- and postremoval treatment; different small and capital letters near the bars indicate the differences among leaves with different coverage and between leaves colonized with liverworts and lichens ().
