The internal transport of carbon dioxide by water flow has until now been omitted when interpreting measurements of photosynthesis and respiration. Theoretical and empirical analyses of the behaviour of carbon dioxide within a tree show that the consideration of dissolved carbon transportation may be important when estimating the respiration rate, but not so important when considering photosynthetic production.
