Short-term impact of low air pressure on plants’ functional traits

What is it about?

In this study, we explore how low air pressure influences key alpine plant physiological traits including stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content and aboveground biomass production. This research contributes to a better understanding of plant physiology and its implications for ecosystems in changing climates.

Why is it important?

we explored the possible effects of low atmospheric pressure on plants using an innovative Ecotron facility. This study is unique in that the Ecotron chambers allow for the precise control of air pressure alone
