What is it about?
Photosynthetic processes are known to be influenced by environmental factors. In this long-term field study performed on the perennial grass (Lolium perenne L.), we show how different processes involved in the light-reactions respond and acclimatize to abiotic stresses by using chlorophyll fluorescence measurement.

Why is it important?
Our results highlight the importance of combination between abiotic factors and the different sensitivity among photosynthetic processes.
Perspectives
Further work are needed to determine if decrease in photosynthetic performance influence the capacity to assimilate carbon. In addition, we need to investigate whether or not the photosynthetic performance of different grassland species (e.g. dicots) would respond similarly to these combined climatic events.
