Overview
C3 plants, which use the C3 carbon fixation pathway, are the most common type of plant and thrive in moderate environments with ample water and carbon dioxide. This process, discovered by [[melvin-calvin|Melvin Calvin]], [[andrew-benson|Andrew Benson]], and [[james-bassham|James Bassham]] in 1950, is the first step in the [[calvin-benson-cycle|Calvin-Benson cycle]]. C3 plants, such as [[wheat|wheat]] and [[soybeans|soybeans]], account for approximately 95% of all plant species.
