Functional traits of tree saplings and adults in a tropical cloud forest restoration context
Botanical Sciences, 2020 Background: The use of tree species’ functional traits is a promising approach in forest restoration. However, some traits may change during ontogeny. Questions: Does intraspecific variation in functional traits occur between sapling and adult stages?

Leaf economics and plant hydraulics drive leaf : wood area ratios
New Phytologist, 2019 Summary Biomass and area ratios between leaves, stems and roots regulate many physiological and ecological processes. The Huber value Hv (sapwood area/leaf area ratio) is central to plant water balance and drought responses. However, its coordination with key plant functional traits is poorly understood, and prevents developing trait‐based prediction

PHOTOELECTRIC APPARATUS FOR MEASURING LEAF AREAS [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1935 The need to measure accurately the area of several thousand apple leaves in connection with a study of the deposit of spray residues led to a search of existing methods of leaf area measurement. The several methods described in the literature failed to satisfy the requirements, inasmuch as accuracy in area measurements was apparently to be secured only

Geometrical parameter calculation of excised wheat leaves based on image analysis
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2018 Aiming at some deficiency of geometrical parameter calculation in plant leaves at present, we proposed a computational method suitable for measuring area, length, width and perimeter of excised wheat leaves.
