Estimating carbon assimilation rates from fossil leaves and application to the mid‐Miocene Clarkia forest
Following this relative approach at Clarkia, we reconstruct high A for taxa whose modern relatives are characterized by rapid growth and/or riparian habitats (Castanea and Platanus) and corroborate previous interpretations on the ecology of taxa whose modern relatives are less known (Quercus simulata).
