Transpiration Plays a Minor Role in the Latitudinal Pattern of Leaf Phosphorus Concentration
Abstract
Summary statement Via incorporating transpiration‐related climatic variables with an up‐to‐date largest woody plant P dataset, we test the potential transpiration effect on large‐scale leaf P distributions and find that transpiration may not be the ‘missing mechanism’ behind the large‐scale pattern of leaf P concentration.
