Surface Canopy Position Determines the Photosystem II Photochemistry in Invasive and Native <i>Prosopis</i> Congeners at Sharjah Desert, UAE

Plants have evolved photoprotective mechanisms in order to counteract the damaging effects of excess light in hyper-arid desert environments. We evaluated the impact of surface canopy positions on the photosynthetic adjustments and chlorophyll fluorescence attributes (photosystem II photochemistry,...
