C4 Diversification

C4 Diversification is a biological evolutionary process that represents the adaptive radiation of C4 photosynthesis across multiple plant lineages, distinguished by the independent emergence of C4 traits from C3 ancestors in response to environmental pressures such as low atmospheric CO2 and high light intensity.
