Cotton responds to different plant population densities by adjusting specific leaf area to optimize canopy photosynthetic use efficiency of light and nitrogen

•Cotton adjusts its specific leaf area in response to the spatial distribution of light within the canopy.•Cotton optimizes the canopy use efficiency of N and light by changing its specific leaf area.•Optimization of canopy photosynthetic capacity in the mid- and lower-canopy layer is key to maximiz...
