Cam Evolution

CAM Evolution is a theoretical framework within plant evolutionary biology that explains the adaptive origins and diversification of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis in response to environmental pressures, distinguishing it from other photosynthetic pathways by its focus on the temporal segregation of carbon fixation and its phylogenetic emergence across arid-adapted lineages.
