• Label: Leaf respiration rate per unit leaf area, in the dark (Rdark)
• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0020510
• Type: numeric
• Definition: The cellular respiration [GO:0045333] rate [PATO:0000161] of plant leaves [PO:0025034] in the dark (absence of any photosynthetically active radiation [ENVO:01001864]), recorded per unit leaf area [PATO:0001323].;The respiration rate of a leaf in the dark (absence of photosynthetically active radiation), calculated as the production of CO2 per unit leaf area.
• Additional comments: Respiration is heavily temperature dependent and the measurement temperature should be specified in the methods or as a context property.
• units: nmol{CO2}/m2/s
• allowable range: 1 - 15000 nmol{CO2}/m2/s
