A cost-benefit analysis of acclimation to low irradiance in tropical rainforest tree seedlings : leaf life span and payback time for leaf deployment

The maintenance in the long run of a positive carbon balance under very low irradiance is a prerequisite for survival of tree seedlings below the canopy or in small gaps in a tropical rainforest. To provide a quantitative basis for this assumption, experiments were carried out to determine whether c...
