Study: Plants boost water-use efficiency, grow more leaves to absorb CO2, not by adapting photosynthesis temperature — findings could improve climate models. Published in One Earth, led by Chinese and Israeli researchers.
An international study led by researchers from China and Israel found that plants are increasing their water-use efficiency and growing more leaves to absorb more carbon dioxide, rather than adapting their photosynthesis temperature, challenging previous assumptions and potentially improving climate predictions, according to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
