About

    Carbon allocation refers to the process by which plants distribute and allocate the carbon they absorb from the atmosphere to various parts of their bodies, such as leaves, stems, roots, and reproductive structures. This allocation is crucial for plant growth, development, and overall productivity. Understanding how plants allocate carbon can provide valuable insights into ecosystem functioning, plant responses to environmental changes, and carbon storage in various ecosystems. Researchers study carbon allocation patterns in plants to better understand their physiological and ecological dynamics, as well as their role in the global carbon cycle.
