| Résumé: | © The Author(s) 2024. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Society for Experimental Biology. Stem CO2 efflux is an important component of the carbon balance in forests. The efflux is considered to principally reflect the net result of two dominating and opposing processes: stem respiration and stem photosynthesis. In addition, transport of CO2 in xylem sap is thought to play an appreciable role in affecting the net flux. This work presents an approach to partition stem CO2 efflux among these processes using sap-flux data and CO2-exchange measurements from dark and transparent chambers placed on mature Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees. Seasonal changes and monthly parameters describing the studied processes were determined. Respiration contributed most to stem net CO2 flux, reaching up to 79% (considering the sum of the absolute values of stem respiration, stem photosynthesis, and flux from CO2 transported in xylem sap to be 100%) in June, when stem growth was greatest. The contribution of photosynthesis accounted for up to 13% of the stem net CO2 flux, increasing over the monitoring period. CO2 transported axially with sap flow decreased towards the end of the growing season. At a reference temperature, respiration decreased starting around midsummer, while its temperature sensitivity increased during the summer. A decline was observed for photosynthetic quantum yield around midsummer together with a decrease in light-saturation point. The proposed approach facilitates modeling net stem CO2 flux at a range of time scales |
