Abstract

The high photosynthesis rates at high leaf temperatures in F. floridana were not due to higher leaf nitrogen contents, but rather to its reduced rate of photorespiration. C₃-C₄ intermediate photosynthesis can thus provide plants with an advantage at high leaf temperatures, compared to C₃ plants. -from Authors
