In this section we discuss the capacity of some plants to detoxify organic pollutants (Cunningham & Berti 1993). The cellular detoxification systems of plants dispose of the xenobiotics by two sequential processes (Coleman et al.
A 26) —R day (2) where A (umol CO, mos') is the actual rate of photosynthesis, p is the apparent quantum yield at low irradiance [mol CO, mol' (quanta)], I is irradiance (umol quanta mos'), Am. (umol CO, m's') is the light-saturated ...

The focus of physiological ecology is typically at the single leaf or root system level extending up to the whole plant. The time scale is on the order of minutes to a year.
