The goal of this study is to understand the significance of short-term increases in leaf temperature, which may be associated with periodic wind lulls or extreme temperature events, on the thermal stability of the photosynthetic pathway. A comparison of desert plants in the Sonoran desert to a nearby alpine community will be the basis of this study. The methodology involves the determination of the intrinsic photosynthetic thermotolerance of desert and alpine species in the laboratory by measuring the temperature-dependent increase in fluorescence. In addition, leaf temperatures for each species will be measured in the field.
