Researchers show the cause of productivity loss in the fluctuating light of maize crop canopies

A research team has measured the dynamic leakiness of CO2 from C4 plants. Previous studies had measured the leakiness under steady-state conditions, but this group took the measurements to prove that leakiness can and should be measured as a dynamic parameter.
