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
