Leaf physiology does not predict leaf habit; examples from tropical dry forest
Trees, 2004Leaf structure and physiology are thought to be closely linked to leaf longevity and leaf habit. Here we compare the seasonal variation in leaf hydraulic conductance (kleaf) and water potential of two evergreen tree species with contrasting leaf life spans, and two species with similar leaf longevity but contrasting leaf habit, one being deciduous and ...

Plant, Cell and EnvironmentABSTRACTAs the single link between leaves and the rest of the plant, petioles must develop conductive tissues according to the water influx and sugar outflow of the leaf lamina. A scaling relationship between leaf area and anatomical traits of xylem and phloem is expected to improve the efficiency of these tissues.

Leaf Gas Exchange Activity in Soybean as Related to Leaf Traits and Stem Growth Habit
Crop Science, 2008Understanding the relationships between leaf photosynthetic activity and physiological and morphological traits of soybeans [Glycine max. (L.) Merr.] with different stem growth habits could be exploited for yield improvement. Leaf photosynthetic rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (gs), leaf mass per unit area (LMA), and leaf nitrogen content per unit area

A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Leaf Habit and Leaf Longevity of Trees and Their Geographical Pattern
The American Naturalist, 1991To maximize net gain of a tree, leaves must be replaced when net gain of a leaf per unit time over the leaf's life span is maximum. A model in which leaf longevity is determined to maximize the net gain of a leaf per unit time is constructed. The model predicts that leaf longevity is short when initial net photosynthetic rate of the leaf is large, long

A possible link between hydraulic properties and leaf habits in Hevea brasiliensis
Functional Plant Biology, 2015A link exists between hydraulic traits and leaf habit. However, few attempts have addressed a possible link between hydraulic traits and altered leaf habit in introduced ranges. Within its native range, the Amazon rainforest, Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A. Juss) Muell. Arg. is an evergreen but it becomes drought-deciduous in non-native ranges.
