C₄ photosynthesis is a fundamental process underpinning the productivity of some of the world’s most important crops, such as maize and sugarcane, as well as grasslands. Despite its global significance and efficiency in converting CO₂ and sunlight into plant biomass, C₄ physiology and acclimation processes are not well represented in most vegetation and land surface models. This PhD project at the University of Technology Sydney aims to advance scientific understanding of C₄ photosynthesis and i...
