Comparative ecophysiology of C3 and C4 plants
Abstract
Abstract. In this review we relate the physiological significance of C 4 photosynthesis to plant performance in nature. We begin with an examination of the physiological consequences of the C 4 pathway on photosynthesis, then discuss the ecophysiological performance of C 4 plants in contrasting environments. We then compare the performance of C 3 and C 4 plants when they occur together in similar habitats, and finally discuss the distribution of C 4 photosynthesis with respect to the physical environment, phylogeny, and life form.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
