The carbon/nutrient balance hypothesis (CNBH) was originally proposed to explain resource allocation patterns in terrestrial vascular plants. It has also been used to examine defense allocation patterns in macroalgae. The CNBH predicts that when carbon is available but nutrients are limited, plants should increase concentrations of carbon-based defenses.135 When carbon is available but nutrients are abundant, plants should invest resources in growth. If carbon is limiting, such as when shading lowers photosynthetic rates, carbon should be allocated to growth and the production of carbon-based defenses should decrease. [Pg.314]
