Treatment c was characterized by higher values of photosynthetic photon flux density p and of leaf-to-air water vapour pressure difference A W than treatments L and s. The plants were taller in treatments L and s than in treatment c but biomass production was higher in the latter treatment. The plants of treatment c were also characterized by higher values of co2 assimilation rate A and of leaf mass per unit area LMA ratio of leaf mass to leaf area . Relative carbon Isotope composition 5p of the leaves was higher in treatment c than in treatments L and s which expresses higher time-integrated values of plant in-trinsinc water-use efficiency A g ratio in the former treatment. There was a positive correlation between 5p and LMA. Thus LMA a readily measurable parameter is a relevant parameter for understanding and modelling water-use efficiency of canopies. lateral shelter microclimate growth leaf gas exchange carbon isotope discrimination water-use efficiency leaf mass per unit area Résumé Croissance échanges gazeux et discrimination isotopique du carbone de jeunes merisiers Prunus avium L placés OU non dans des abris latéraux individuels.
