Light response characteristics and diurnal variation of photosynthesis of young trees of Ardisia tenera were measured with Li-6400 in fog-cool season,dry-hot season and rain season in understory of tropical seasonal rain forest in Xishuangbanna.The results show that Pnmax、c and a of young tree of A.tenera in rain season are the highest,which are 2.782μmol/(m2·s),1.233μmol/(m2·s)and 0.007 respectively in artificial illuminant,and LSP and LCP are comparatively low in each season as a whole.In environment of natural illumination,the diurnal process of Pn for young tree living in the understory shows a "bimodal pattern" in fog-cool season,dry-hot season and rain season,and the peak values were 1.288μmol/(m2·s),1.919μmol/(m2·s)and 2.5μmol/(m2·s)respectively.Pn and Gs in rain season are the highest.Tr is the lowest,but WUE is the highest in fog-cool season.Thus,photosynthetic characteristics of young trees of A.tenera were largely influenced by change of seasons,and these characteristics reveal the shade-tolerant characteristics of young trees of A.tenera.Overall,the net flux that young trees of A.tenera absorb carbon dioxide is relatively low.
