At the Barro Colorado Research Station, STRI, BCI, Panama, featured Alan P. Smith, Kevin P. Hogan, Kaoru Kitajima Okada, and Mirna Samaniego discussing the plant physiology research conducted in the forest under normal conditions, and in the laboratory under controlled conditions, c. 1985-1990, including: Importance of understanding the effects of environmental variables on tropical plants; carbon dioxide exchange studies on specific plants in the rainforest understory; methods of measuring carbon dioxide exchange in plants; potential use of construction tower cranes to conduct experiments in the upper forest canopy; and use of controlled laboratory experiments to study plant physiology. Visual documentation included: Tropical forest understory; plant physiology monitoring field station; demonstration of a student measuring a leaf's carbon dioxide exchange in the field; BCI plant physiology laboratory area; laboratory plant growth chamber; and carbon dioxide exchange measurements inside a plant growth chamber.

The Smithsonian Videohistory Program, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation from 1986 until 1992, used video in historical research. Additional collections have been added since the grant project ended. Videohistory uses the video camera as a historical research tool to record moving visual information. Video works best in historical r...
