Convergence in phosphorus constraints to photosynthesis in forests around the world

David S. Ellsworth et al.

Summary: Phosphorus limitation is common in tropical forests and incorporating phosphorus constraints in terrestrial biosphere models improves predictive power. The authors demonstrate the dependency of photosynthesis on leaf nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations and find that phosphorus regulation of photosynthetic capacity is similar across continents. Implementing phosphorus constraints in the ORCHIDEE-CNP model reduces photosynthesis in tropical and subtropical regions by 36%.

The Optical Properties of Leaf Structural Elements and Their Contribution to Photosynthetic Performance and Photoprotection

George Karabourniotis et al.

Summary: Leaves have evolved unique structures to efficiently utilize light and balance photosynthesis with water loss under different light conditions. Various structural elements in leaves play important roles in light capture and propagation, optimized through evolution to adapt to diverse environments.
