A growth chamber study was also conducted to measure the whole-plant light compensation point (LCP) of two species of plants (Philodendron erubescens and Dracaena surculosa) used in the indoor greenery design.

Also under litter cover, D. muscorum showed three common adaptations to shade conditions: a decrease in the light compensation point, in the light intensity needed to achieve 95% of maximal net photosynthesis, and in the chlorophyll a/b ratio.

P. ochreatus, which had a more diffuse and fully submersed habit, had a lower specific absorption coefficient (0.1 m−2 g−1) and average daily light compensation point (37 μmol m−2 s−1) than P. tricarinatus (0.9 1.2 m−2 g−1 and 57 μmol m−2 s−1, respectively), but had a relative growth rate of approximately 25 mg g−1 per day even at an initial instantaneous irradiance of 0.4 μmol m−2 s−1.

Light compensation point.

Slopes of response functions relating physiology and biochemistry to ln FPAR) were not significantly different among species except for the light compensation point, which did not vary in response to light in ponderosa pine, but did in the other two species.

To understand why open-grown live oaks are threatened by forest succession, we compared crown densities, light compensation points, and maximum photosynthetic rates of open-grown live oaks and the principal encroaching tree species but found no significant differences.

The lower light compensation points for the growth of deep colonizing freshwater plants result from these having higher shoot-to-root ratios than seagrasses.
