%X In a previous communication we described a meteorological
method of assessing the vertical distribution of photosynthesis
and respiration activity in a corn crop. The
method, however, is tedious. Here we describe a much
simpler method. Results indicate that all the leaves of
a corn crop appear to follow the same near-linear light
response curve, at least above the compensation point.
Below the compensation point, all leaves evidently respire
very little.
