About

David Ellsworth is a Professor at Western Sydney University, Australia. His research primarily focuses on plant physiology and ecology, with recent articles exploring topics such as phosphorus constraints on photosynthesis, leaf nutrient dynamics, and plant responses to environmental stressors like heatwaves. He is particularly interested in the interactions between mistletoes and their host plants as well as nutrient allocation strategies in various ecosystems.
