Leaf angle as a leaf and canopy trait: Rejuvenating its role in ecology with new technology
Leaf angle is crucial in light interception for plant canopies. It is a morphological trait that is associated with many other leaf traits in the leaf economics spectrum. We reviewed the importance of leaf angle in ecology and used model simulations to demonstrate the importance of leaf angle in simulating canopy fluxes.
