The relationship of leaf photosynthetic traits – Vcmax and Jmax – to leaf nitrogen, leaf phosphorus, and specific leaf area: a meta‐analysis and modeling study
Great uncertainty exists in the global exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the
terrestrial biosphere. An important source of this uncertainty lies in the dependency of …
