Abstract

The diurnal course of CO<subscript>2</subscript> gas exchange, <superscript>14</superscript>CO<subscript>2</subscript> incorporation, malate and citrate content, and traspiration of Welwitschia mirabilis were measured in one of its natural habitats, the Welwitschia-Vlakte in the central Namib desert (Namibia), in order to decide which CO<subscript>2</subscript> fixation pathway is used by this gymnosperm.
