text: The restriction of carnivorous plants to open, infertile, moist sites, however, remained unexplained until modern cost-benefit models showed that carnivores are likely to obtain an advantage in growth relative to noncarnivores only on such sites, where nutrients and nutrients alone limit plant growth, and where carnivory can accelerate photosynthesis and the conversion of photosynthate to new leaf tissue while decreasing allocation to root tissue (2, 3, 5, 6).
