Carbon dioxide exchange rates (CER) of intact soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) plants at the fruiting stage were measured in continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) chambers. Plants were exposed to clean air, 67 ppb ozone (O3), 300 ppb sulphur dioxide (SO2), or 67 ppb O3 plus 300 ppb SO2 for 7.5 h∙day−1 for 5 days. Carbon dioxide exchange rates were measured hourly during the last 6 h of each exposure period and decreased progressively during the first period of exposure to O3 plus SO2, dropping in hour 6 to 42% of the hour 1 rate, and to a lesser extent in the second daily exposure when the corresponding decline was to 70%. There was a declining trend in CER of SO2-treated but not O3-treated plants with increasing number of days of exposure. Carbon dioxide exchange rates of all plants generally peaked and declined during each exposure period.Key words: Air pollution, net photosynthesis, mixtures, Glycine max
