The energy that plants capture from sunlight through photosynthesis provides the source of nearly all of humanity's food. Yet ...

This review first revisits current knowledge about single-leaf function, viz. photosynthesis, chiefly in relation to environmental factors, that underscores the importance of multiple summer stresses.
