Simulations using a biochemically-based model of leaf photosynthesis make it possible to predict the distribution of leaf N contents that maximizes photosynthetic C gain over the canopy of an entire plant. In general, the optimal N content increased with increasing daily photosynthetically active photon irradiance. Leaf aging in natural environments tended to produce leaf N contents that were similar to the optimal values but somewhat more clustered. N redistribution over the duration of a leaf involves costs that are smaller than the benefits in increased photosythesis. The costs could become larger than the benefits if N were redistributed on a shorter time scale.
