Sunfleck frequency and duration affects growth rate of the understorey plant, Alocasia macrorrhiza

1. We measured the gas exchange and growth responses of Alocasia macrorrhiza to three light regimes; short lightflecks (SF), long lightflecks (LF), and uniform diffuse light (U), all with the same total daily photon flux density. 2. Relative growth rates (RGR) were highest in the U regime and lowest...
