Abstract: Consider a superdiffusion $X$ on $mathbb{R}^d$ corresponding to the semilinear operator $$ where $L$ is a second order elliptic operator, $$ is in the Kato class and bounded from above, and $k(cdot)ge0$ is bounded on compact subsets of $R^d$ and is positive on a set of positive Lebesgue measure. The main purpose of this paper is to complement the results obtained in cite{Englander:2004}, in the following sense. Let $lambd{a}_{i}nfty$ be the $L^{i}nfty$-growth bound of the semigroup corresponding to the Schr"odinger operator $$. If $lambd{a}_{i}nftyeq0$, then we prove that, in some sense, the exponential growth/decay rate of $|X_t|$, the total mass of $X_t$, is $lambd{a}_{i}nfty$. We also describe the limiting behavior of $exp(-lambd{a}_{i}nftyt)|X_t|$ in these cases. This should be compared to the result in cite{Englander:2004}, which says that the generalized principal eigenvalue $lambd{a}_2$ of the operator gives the rate of {it local} growth when it is positive, and implies local extinction otherwise. It is easy to show that $lambd{a}_{infty}gelambd{a}_2$, and we discuss cases when $lambd{a}_{infty}>lambd{a}_2$ and when $lambd{a}_{infty}=lambd{a}_2$. When $lambd{a}_{i}nfty=0$, and under some conditions on $$, we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the superdiffusion $X$ to exhibit weak extinction. We show that the branching intensity $k$ affects weak extinction; this should be compared to the known result that $k$ does not affect weak {it local} extinction (which only depends on the sign of $lambd{a}_2$, and which turns out to be equivalent to local extinction) of $X$.
