Convergence in phosphorus constraints to photosynthesis in forests around the world

Convergence in phosphorus constraints to photosynthesis in forests around the world

Phosphorus (P) limitation is pervasive in tropical forests. Here the authors analyse the dependence of photosynthesis on leaf N and P in tropical forests, and show that incorporating leaf P constraints in a terrestrial biosphere model enhances its predictive power.
