Dr. James Bunce built his first photosynthesis system as a graduate student 48 years ago and has been performing leaf gas exchange measurements ever since.
He has 40 years of research experience with the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland as an environmental plant physiologist. His focus has been on photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and plant water relations and their response and acclimation, in the context of plant adaptation to the environment, most recently, adaptation to the global change factors of rising carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.
