Abstract
It is important, though trivial, that low temperatures affect different life processes in different ways. The life process most limited will most strongly influence growth and development. In the last century, when researchers watched submerged aquatic leaves for air bubbles in order to check whether the plant was photosynthesizing, a handful of ice added to such a water bath had illuminated the fundamental dilemma betweensupply and demand of carbon. By using these methods, Kraus (1869, p. 523) studied the effect of light and temperature on starch and sugar formation in plants in Würzburg and hit the point remarkably well:
