Adaptation to Sun and Shade: a Whole-Plant Perspective
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Adaptation to irradiance level is explored, focusing on traits whose significance would be elusive if considered in terms of their impact at the leaf level alone, and three energetic tradeoffs likely to shape such adaptation are outlined, involving the economics of gas exchange, support, and biotic interactions.
