Has anyone measured photosynthesis in dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium spp)
growing on pine? We have tried with a Licor and see alternate CO2
increases and
decreases in the light, with no obvious difference in the mistletoe appearance.
Have not done measurements over a growing season. We measure good CO2
uptake in the
pine and nearby aspen.
