Chloroplast to Leaf

Photosynthetic Adaptation

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 178))

Abstract

Leaf shapes and morphologies are very diverse. Obviously there are many successful solutions to the challenge of constructing an organ that intercepts light, enables CO2 uptake, restricts water loss, and withstands or avoids temperature extremes, herbivory, and disease. Tradeoffs exist among capturing CO2 and light, water loss, or construction cost. So, to some extent, the various leaf structures represent different compromises that are reached in different environments.
