> I expect that many desert adapted species approach perfection (but have not bothered to verify). No they have different strategies to minimize water loss that comes with exhanging CO2 & O2 to the atmosphere. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crassulacean_acid_metabolism Portulacaria Afra (elephant bush) is a nice example. It can switch between C3 and CAM photosynthesis pathways as needed. |
