Abstract

In this thesis, I conducted three projects to study native species in south-western Australia, known forits global biodiversity significance and exceptionally phosphorus-poor soils. The focus is onunderstanding how these plants adapt their nutritional strategies in different seasons and habitats,and assessing the prevalence of these adaptive traits in Proteaceae and co-occurring species.Furthermore, the research aims to unravel the mechanisms responsible for maintaining efficientphotosynthesis with low leaf nitrogen concentrations
