The Effect of Low Irradiance on Leaf Nitrogen Allocation and Mesophyll Conductance to CO<sub>2</sub> in Seedlings of Four Tree Species in Subtropical China

The Effect of Low Irradiance on Leaf Nitrogen Allocation and Mesophyll Conductance to CO<sub>2</sub> in Seedlings of Four Tree Species in Subtropical China

Low light intensity can lead to a decrease in photosynthetic capacity. However, could N-fixing species with higher leaf N contents mitigate the effects of low light? Here, we exposed seedlings of <i>Dalbergia odorifera</i> and <i>Erythrophleum fordii</i> (N-fixing trees), and...
