 PREFACE

With all the praise and thanks to God Almighty, who has given his
love and affection so that a paper entitled "Photosynthetic response to different

Patagonian forest, Argentina" can be resolved well.
This paper was prepared to meet one of the tasks of English.
On this occasion, we would like to thank profusely to all those who have

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the paper

Photosynthesis is the physic-chemical process by which plants, algae and

photosynthetic bacteria use light energy to drive the synthesis of organic
compounds. In plants, algae and certain types of bacteria, the photosynthetic
process result in the release of molecular oxygen and the removal of carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere that is used to synthesize carbohydrates
(oxygenic photosynthesis). Other types of bacteria use light energy to create
organic compounds but do not produce oxygen (anoxygenic photosynthesis).
Photosynthesis provides the energy reduced carbon required for the survival of
virtually all life on our planet, as well as the molecular oxygen necessary for
the survival of oxygen consuming organisms.

The overall equation for photosynthesis is deceptively simple. In fact, a

complex set of physical and chemical reactions must occur in a coordinated
manner for the synthesis of carbohydrates.The cool temperate forest of
Southern Patagonia(Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego provinces, Argentina),
dominated by the deciduous species Nothofaguspumilioand N. antarctica,
occurs from 46° to 56°S and ranges in elevation from the sea level to more
than 2,000 m a.s.l. Seedlings of these Nothofagusspecies often respond to the
creation of canopy gaps from small treefalls but inadequate seedling
establishment is associated with insufficient soil moisture (Veblen et al. 1996).
1.2 Purpose of the paper

To criticize or analyze journals about English for physics.

1.3 Benefits of the paper

 Add insight into English for physics.

 Analyze and obtain information from the journal
 Know the weaknesses and advantages of the contents of the journal

JOURNAL SUMMARY

Plants in natural environments can experiencefrequent fluctuations in

irradiance from full sun to deep shade caused by overstorey shading and within
canopy shading (Knapp, Smith 1987). When plants experience a change from high
to low irradiance, a photosynthesis deactivation process occurs due toa reduction
in stomatal conductance (gs) (Kirschbaumet al. 1988) and an increase in
biochemical limitations (Tinoco-Ojanguren, Pearcy 1993). In plants transient from
low to high irradiance there is an increase in photosynthesis rate (A) to the
maximum A, defined as the ‘induction phase’ of photosynthesis (Sassenrath-Cole,
Pearcy 1994), and it dependents on the previous activity status of photosynthetic
enzymes and on gs(Pearcy et al. 1996). Several authors have linked regeneration
growth to light availability in Nothofagusforest (Martinez Pastur et al. 1999;
Caldentey et al. 2005). However, the physiological adaptability of leaves to a
fluctuating light environment, related to the net photosynthesis of
Nothofagusseedlings has received little attention.
In addition, woody plants strongly vary in their responses to water stress
and waterlogging (Sun et al. 1995) by influencing their physiology and
morphology. N. antarcticagrows on poorly drained (wetlands) or on drier eastern
sites of the Andes mountain near the Patagonian steppe compared with N. pumilio,
which grows in better conditions with respect to soil water availability (Veblen et
al. 1996). In this context, the soil water status may play an important role in the
distribution of these species and seedling establishment after harvesting.
Therefore, an investigation of leaf photosynthetic responses to light and
water availability will reveal the potential for abiotic regulation of
Nothofagusseedlings regeneration and ecology. In this study, the focus is on
Nothofagusseedlings where plants experience sunlight fluctuations and different
soil water conditions similar to those likely to be experienced in the native forest
or in forest under silvicultural practices. The aim was to evaluate the effect of
light intensity and the induction state, water stress and tolerance to waterlogging
on net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance of individual leaves of the two
major Nothofagusspecies in Southern Patagonia.
 The measured values of A in μmol CO2/m2/s and gsin mol H2O/m2/s
were transformed by dividing theobserved values by values obtained in non-
limitingconditions (before shade and irrigated plants) to givea standardized index
value that ranged from 0 to 1.A value of 1 (As = 1 or gss= 1) corresponds to
themaximum value found for A or gsin non-limitingconditions.
The induction state of the leaf (IS) at any time (ISt) was calculated
(Equation 1) from measurements collected1, 2 and 10 min after the return to full
sunlightfor plants previously exposed to 60 min of shade(95–100 μmol/m2/s
PPFD). Data were analyzed asone-way ANOVA with three replicates
ISt= (At/Ass) × 100 = As × 100 (1)
where:
At – the assimilation rate at time t, measured in minutes
from the light increase,
Ass – the steady-state, light saturated assimilation rate after
induction is complete (As = 1 in the present work).

Thus (As × 100) can be used to calculate the induction state, which is
equivalent to IStcalculated in Equation (1). IS₁, IS₂, IS₁₀serve as indicators of the
stomatal and RuBisCO limitations imposed by the induction requirement (Pearcy
et al. 1996) at t = 1,2 and 10 min, respectively. Also, the time requiredto reach
90% of full induction (T90) after 60 min of shade (95–100 μmol/m2/s PPFD) was
calculated for each species as described by Urban et al. (2007).
Overall, 272 photosynthesis and gsmeasurements were taken. Of these: 80
were used to quantify the responses to light intensity, 72 for the responses to
water stress, and 120 for the tolerance to waterlogging.
Statistical analyses were carried out using the Genstatstatistical package
(GENSTAT 5 1997). Standard errors of means (s.e.m.) were used to evaluate least
significant differences (lsd) at the 0.05 probability level for mean separation of the
studied variables.
 CHAPTER III
JOURNAL ADVANTAGE

3.1Sequence or Linkages between Concepts

Sequence or interrelationship between concepts In the journal also given a
formula and facilitate the reader. Explaining everything from understanding,
application, to commercialization, also explains the negative impact of using
batteries.
3.2 Update Concept
The first journal is the most recent research published in 2009, so the
concepts and discussion are the latest.
 CHAPTER IV
JOURNAL WEAKNESS

4.1 Sequence or Linkages between Concepts

Sequence or the relationship between concepts in the journal gives an
adequate formula just memebri one formula and not accompanied by
examples of questions, just explain the consequences of usage.
4.2 Originality of the Findings
In terms of findings, we can see the shortcomings such as the lack of
examples in the journal, in the first journal there is also no example of a
problem so that the reader cannot understand the formula without an example
problem.
4.3 Concept Update
The concept update in the journal even though the year of publication in
2009, but still incomplete and lacking in understanding the formulated
formula and concept of the journal.
4.4 Cohesion and Coherence of Research Contents
Cohesion and the coherence of the contents of the study are not too many
weaknesses, namely there is still a lack of content about the explanation of the
title of the journal content.
 CHAPTER V
IMPLICATIONS

5.1 Theory
In terms of theory this journal can be trusted because it has a theory that is
indeed true we can see from the discourse that has been poured and the
enumeration that has been listed in the journal.
5.2 Development Programs in Indonesia
The contents in this journal are indeed very good for Indonesian
development because with this journal we can make a learning learning to
trigger new and good ideas in order to produce useful works and to solve the
problems that exist today.
 CHAPTER VI
CONCLUSIONS

6.1 Conclusion
Journals that are criticized each have their own shortcomings and readers
are quite satisfying because the journal describes how the battery and the
impact of using batteries or hydraulics. In this journal, it is also quite complete
because there are many explanations from experts.

6.2 Suggestion
It is better for the journal publication to continue the deepening of the
material deeper, so that the reader gets what is sought and makes the reader
more knowledgeable about the material.
