Llorens et al. (2009)

Photosynthesis of well watered and fertilized one-year-old saplings grown from seed and maintained for four more years in 6-liter pots (filled with a 13:5:2 mix of sand:vermiculite:peat) within controlled-environment growth rooms, with measurements made in the fourth year of the study (middle of first-half growing season)
