Light and temperature of an ecosystemThe light factor
Light is a form of radiant energy. It is an essential factor for the
production
of the plant materials upon which all other living organisms depend
directly or indirectly.

The visible range of light is between 380 to 720 nm. The chloroplast absorb radiation
from 330 to 740 nm. Only 39% of total radiation reaching the earth from the sun is visible
light. 60% is infrared and 1%is ultraviolet.

Effects of light on plants1. Photosynthesis.
2. Transpiration.
3. Seed germination.
4. Photoperiodism.
5. Reproduction and growth.
6. Influence upon number and position of chloroplast.
7. Changes in leaf structure.

Ecological Classification
• Heliophytes
• Sciophytes
• Facultative Sciophytes
• Facultative Heliophytes

Measurement of light intensity
The intensity of light is usuallymeasured
by an instrument called photometeror
lux meter.

Unit of MeasurementThe intensity or brightness of light is measured in terms of candle power.
The light intensity from standard candle at one foot distance is called foot candle (F.C) and at one meter distance is called lux (L) or meter
candle (M.C)
Radiometer

The Temperature Factor
Temperature is a measurement of the degree of hotness. The radiant energy received from the sun is converted to heat energy. Heat is measured in
calories.

Vernalization
The flower production under the effect of low temperature is called
vernalization.

ThermoperiodismA phenomenon in which growth or development is promoted by alternating day and night temperatures.

Importance of temperature to plant
1. Temperature and metabolism
2. Temperature growth and reproduction
3. Temperature favourable and unfavourable to plants
Optimum temperature
Maximum temperature
Minimum temperature
