SUMMARY STATEMENT The degree of inhibition of leaf respiration by light is often studied, but the methods used and the results obtained are variable. We suggest that in the future daytime leaf respiration is measured 3 min after dark acclimation to avoid under‐estimating the degree of light inhibiti...
