Global patterns and drivers of leaf photosynthetic capacity: The relative importance of environmental factors and evolutionary history

Aim: Understanding the considerable variability and drivers of global leaf photosynthetic capacity [indicated by the maximum carboxylation rate standardized to 25°C ( V c,max25 )] is an essential step for accurate modelling of terrestrial plant photosynthesis and carbon uptake under climate change. Although current environmental conditions have often been connected with empirical and theoretical models to explain global V c,max25 variability through acclimatization and adaptation, long-term evolutionary history has largely been neglected, but might also explicitly play a role in shaping the V c,max25 variability.
