The differential pigment composition and photosynthetic activity of sun and shade leaves of deciduous (Acer pseudoplatanus, Fagus sylvatica, Tilia cordata) and coniferous (Abies alba) trees was comparatively determined by studying the photosynthetic rates via CO2 measurements and also by imaging the Chi fluorescence decrease ratio (R-Fd), which is an in vivo indicator of the net CO2 assimilation rates. The thicker sun leaves and needles in all tree species were characterized by a lower specific leaf area, lower water content, higher total chlorophyll (Chi) a+b and total carotenoid (Cars) content per leaf area unit, as well as higher values for the ratio Chi alb compared to the much thinner shade leaves and needles that possess a higher Chi a+b and Cars content on a dry matter basis and higher values for the weight ratio Chls/Cars. Sun leaves and needles exhibited higher rates of maximum net photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (P-Nmax) measured at saturating irradiance associated with higher maximum stomatal conductance for water vapor efflux. The differences in photosynthetic activity between sun and shade leaves and needles could also be sensed via imaging the Chi fluorescence decrease ratio RFd, since it linearly correlated to the P-Nmax rates at saturating irradiance. Chi fluorescence imaging not only provided the possibility to screen the differences in P-N rates between sun and shade leaves, but in addition permitted detection and quantification of the large gradients in photosynthetic rates across the leaf area existing in sun and shade leaves.
