About this document
Calculating Photosynthesis Rates Methods by Robert Edwards is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are several key methods to calculate the rate of photosynthesis, including measuring the uptake of CO2, production of O2, production of carbohydrates, and increase in dry mass. More specific techniques involve using immobilized algae, an IRGA to measure CO2 uptake, monitoring CO2 concentration in a bag, measuring oxygen bubbles from pondweed, comparing leaf disc weights before and after drying, and tracking dry mass over serial plant harvests.
