摘要

Declining CO_2 over the Cretaceous has been suggested as an evolutionary driver of the high leaf vein densities (7-28 mm mm~(-2)) that are unique to the angiosperms throughout all of Earth history. Photosynthetic modeling indicated the link between high vein density and productivity documented in the modern low-CO_2 regime would be lost as CO_2 concentrations increased but also implied that plants with very low vein densities (less than 3 mm mm~(-2)) should experience substantial disadvantages with high CO_2. Thus, the hypothesized relationship between CO_2 and plant evolution can be tested through analysis of the concurrent histories of alternative lineages, because an extrinsic driver like atmospheric CO_2 should affect all plants and not just the flowering plants. No such relationship is seen. Regardless of CO_2 concentrations, low vein densities are equally common among nonangio-sperms throughout history and common enough to include forest canopies and not just obligate shade species that will always be of limited productivity. Modeling results can be reconciled with the fossil record if maximum assimilation rates of nonflow-ering plants are capped well below those of flowering plants, capturing biochemical and physiological differences that would be consistent with extant plants but previously unrecognized in the fossil record. Although previous photosynthetic modeling suggested that productivity would double or triple with each Phaner-ozoic transition from low to high CO_2, productivity changes are likely to have been limited before a substantial increase accompanying the evolution of flowering plants.
