Ratio between optimal and control partitioning fractions (optimal pX/control pX), and contributions of daily leaf carbon assimilation (DLA) to the daily canopy carbon assimilation (DCA) increase by optimal partitioning (grey bars, right y-axis) along the canopy depth [leaf area index (LAI) m2 m−2] under 50% average daily photon integral during acclimation (aDPI50) for plants grown under (A) high nitrogen and high light (HN+HL), (B) high nitrogen and low light (HN+LL), (C) low nitrogen and high light (LN+HL), (D) low nitrogen and low light (LN+LL) conditions. Photosynthetic nitrogen partitioning is close to optimum for LN+HL under aDPI50, which corresponds to a DPI of 10.7 and 4.3 mol photons m−2 d−1 for HL and LL, respectively. The symbols and colors used here are the same as those in Fig. 7. See Table 4 for the increase in DCA by the optimal partitioning.
