personal bibliographic software
Hi
I am looking for some bibliographic software to organize the papers
and the information in them that I have to read for my research. I
have heard of programs such as papyrus, endnote and refmenu, but my
understanding is that they are all commercial packages, and DOS based.
Since my computer runs unix, and I am a poor undergrad, I am looking
for some free-ware (ftp'able) software that does the same thing...
If anyone knows of such a thing, could they email me with the
information (or even if you might know of such a thing, or if you
just want to sympathize about the excrutiating cost of buying
commercial software...)?
Thanks,
Brad_.

A quick literature search brought up 233 recent research articles
specifically on that. I personally like Park S. Nobel's book "Biophysical
Plant Physiology and Ecology" for this subject (and he has an even newer
book with a similar title).
The short answer: Photosynthesis increases with temperature until it gets
too hot, then it goes down. Low humidity tends to close stomata, reducing
photosynthesis. Parts of the relationship can be explained by physical
laws, and Nobel's book has all the formulae. Overall, though the exact
relationship will be different for just about every leaf. The species,
genotype, growing conditions, age of plant, age of leaf, other present
conditions will all affect how large an effect changes in temperature and
humidity will have on photosynthesis.
