Paul Gordon Jarvis FRS[3] (Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, 23 de maio de 1935 – Aberfeldy, Escócia, 5 de fevereiro de 2013), foi um ecologista e professor de engenharia florestal e recursos naturais da Universidade de Edimburgo, de 1975 a 2001.[4][5][6][7][8][1]
Foi eleito membro da Royal Society em 1997[3] e membro da Sociedade Real de Edimburgo em 1979.
Em seu certificado de eleição como membro da Royal Society em 1997 consta literalmente:
| “ | Professor Jarvis has made a unique contribution to plant ecology by elucidating the dependence of transpiration and photosynthesis on physiological and environmental factors over a wide range of scales from cellular to regional. He was one of the first to develop rigorous schemes for the movement and storage of water in plants and for the resistances and potential gradients that determine the diffusion of water vapour and carbon dioxide within leaves. He developed a formula expressing the dependence of stomatal conductance on weather and soil factors that has been widely used by other workers. He was a pioneer in measuring photosynthesis and respiration in a forest stand and in estimating CO₂ fluxes as a function of light transmission and interception. Currently, he is a prominent leader of internationally-planned research on biological aspects of climate change, in particular, the impact of raised levels of CO₂ on forest photosynthesis, on carbon accumulation in forests, and on feedback between vegetation and the atmosphere.[3] | ” |
