Matching the IRGAs
The heart of the computation of transpiration and assimilation is the measure-
ment of the concentration differences. Since these differences are measured
by two independent gas analyzers, provisions must be made to check the IR-
GAs against one another. One way to do this is to compare the IRGAs when
the leaf chamber is empty, and adjust one so that they match. Matching in this
manner is a problem, however, because you donÕt want to remove the leaf
from the chamber in the middle of an experiment. The LI-6400 provides a
mechanism to match the IRGAs without disturbing the leaf: it is called match
mode, and it is illustrated in Figure 1-3.
Match mode is something that you do at least once at the start of the day, and
periodically throughout the day. Matching is important when the
D
CO
2
or
D
H
2
O value is small (low rates, small leaf areas). For example, a
1 µmol mol
-1
offset between the two CO
2
IRGAs is trivial when the
D
CO
2
is
75 µmol mol
-1
, but represents a significant error if the
D
CO
2
is only
3 µmol mol
-1
.
Figure 1-3. In Match Mode, leaf chamber air is measured by both sample and ref-
erence IRGAs, allowing the sample IRGA to be adjusted to match the reference IR-
GA.
