The chamber was working as an open system and the leaf temperature was fixed at 24°C. Measurements were made throughout the growing season. Tree photosynthesis was measured in situ on 1 yr old chestnut tree using a large assimila- a tion chamber (0.9 m x 0.9 m x 1.8 m high) built in the laboratory and working as an open sys- tem.

Agreement between measurements and model outputs is good. However, at low light levels, the model underestimated photosynthesis for overcast sky conditions and overestimated it for clear sky conditions. Conclusion In its present iform, the model does not account for assimilate partitioning. We used it to derive a carbon balance of the
