Today I learned (the hard way) that the LiCor LI-6800 moves files into trash if you intentionally or accidentally overwrite them - so the original is recoverable.

@li-corenv.bsky.social - Please share the inspiration and behind the scenes of this 6800 vs 6400 photoshoot. It's giving distracted boyfriend meme.

Exploring A-Ci curves in C4 grass!

This is my first time analysing CO₂ response for a C4 plant using the LI-6800 dynamic assimilation technique.

Understanding the productivity and resilience of these tropical forages. 🌱 ✨

A Psychrometric Temperature Correction for the Positive Bias Observed in Stomatal Conductance Measured by the Open Flow‐Through LI‐600 Porometer
The study showed that the LI-COR LI-600 porometer systematically overestimates stomatal conductance relative to LI-6800 gas exchange measurements, with the bias increasing at high stomatal conductanc...

Thank you @li-corenv.bsky.social for the T-Shirt and opportunity to chat with expert LI-6800 users about my experiments and measurements! Really nice seeing you at @egu.eu, please have a LI-COR conference in Europe soon 😉

First day taking our new LI-6800 out to the field! Worked perfectly and very excited to start collecting data on some new projects!

Holy Li-Cor Batman!

What's the collective noun for a group of Li-Cor 6800?

Chamber of Secrets?

Kinoshita @strnk17desejp.bsky.social & Finkemeier @ifink-lab.bsky.social present an alternative method to precisely measure CO2 assimilation rate & transpiration of #Arabidopsis leaves in whole-plant chambers

Figure 1 from Kinoshita and Finkemeier article showing gas-exchange measurements of petiole-cut Arabidopsis leaves in the whole plant chambers of the LI-6800 system. Panel A shows a schematic diagram of the method i.e. petiole cutting on wet paper and insertion of leaves into a parafilm-sealed dish containing water. Panels B-E are graphs that show C02 assimilation and transpiration rates under different conditions tested

The LI-6878 Leaf Trace Gas Integration System pairs the LI-6800 with select LI-COR Trace Gas Analyzers, measuring leaf-level CH4, N2O fluxes, or CO2 isotopes in real time, with a compact system that replaces room-scale setups or modeled data.

Thank you to LI-COR for supporting #Botany2026!
A photograph of LI-COR scientific equipment set up in a lush green prairie field at sunset, surrounded by tall grasses and purple wildflowers. A teal and white instrument with a solar panel and multiple cable connections sits in the foreground, with a white instrument mounted on a tripod-like stand visible to the right. A gray hard-sided equipment case rests on the ground in the grass nearby. Soft pink and purple hues color the sky at the horizon. The LI-COR logo appears in the bottom right corner on a light triangular banner.

We recently received this photo of two photosynthesis instrument "cousins" doing their work at Rocky Mountain Biological Lab. The photo is courtesy Carrie Wu (@carriewu.bsky.social) and posted with permission.
In the foreground is an LI-6800 sensor head. In the background is an LI-6400 console and its sensor head. There are also two legs and a few flowers in the fore and midground.

🌾🔥 RESEARCH 🔥🌾

Drought timing reshapes switchgrass metabolism and biofuel quality: early drought boosts stress resilience but creates fermentation inhibitors such saponins, while late drought improves ethanol yield – Basyal et al.

Fig. 1.Gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence from survey measurement. (A) CO2 assimilation rate, (B) stomatal conductance, and (C) operating efficiency of PSII (ΦPS2) of switchgrass were measured using an LI-6800 infrared gas analyzer with fluorometer. Filled circles are averages, with different colors representing the treatment when drought was implemented (n=20). Shaded regions represent developmental stages (gray=vegetative stage, red=flowering stage, blue=senescence stage). Bars on the circles represent the SEM. Means with different letters are significantly different according to an ANOVA and a Tukey’s post-hoc test (P<0.05).

I guess I meant an instrument that is simpler than the 6800 but has updated features 😅

Like a LI-6800 SE (thinking of the iPhone SE)

How many brains does it take to set up a Li-6800 aquatic chamber?! Lots of fun this morning with @bethloveys.bsky.social, @aaronlphillips.bsky.social, et al. We successfully got the chamber up and running! Excited to put it through its paces

Hello new followers! I currently study heat sensitivity of mature European beech, Norway spruce, and Douglas fir, using gas-exchange measurements and chlorophyll fluorescence. I have recently finished my first season of field work! Here are some photos.
A red trailer lift with extended boom operating within a stand of beech trees in summer. A LI-6800 measures beech leaf gas exchange from the basket of the trailer lift. A laptop is connected to a Campbell Scientific Datalogger in the canopy of a beech tree. Many wires and a battery are connected to the data logger. The background displays the leaves of more beech trees.

Looking for advice on measuring net carbon fixation in a CAM species (Kalanchoe) using a LI-6800. I have experience with the instrument, but not with CAM plants.

Any tips on optimizing chamber conditions, timing relative to the diel cycle, or leaf/plant attachment to the 6800?
