Abstract: 1 table. 1 figure. [Study of net CO2 uptake to thallus water content on two forms of Ramalina menziesii from California. "A mathematical description of the response curve was based on a piecewise nonlinear regression model, and biologically meaningful parameters were derived. The model was interpreted in terms of interacting resistance components to CO2 uptake."]
