CARBON DIOXIDE AND WATER DEMAND : CRASSULACEAN ACID METABOLISM (CAM), A VERSATILE ECOLOGICAL ADAPTATION EXEMPLIFYING THE NEED FOR INTEGRATION IN ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL WORK
Plants having crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) tend to occupy habitats where the prevailing environmental stress is scarcity of water. These are semi-arid or arid regions, salinas or epiphytic sites. CAM plants manage the dilemma of desiccation or starvation by nocturnal malic acid accumulation in...
