Global climatic drivers of leaf size
Science, 2017 Leaf size, climate, and energy balance Why does plant leaf size increase at lower latitudes, as exemplified by the evolutionary success of species with very large leaves in the tropics? Wright et al. analyzed leaf data for 7670 plant species, along with climatic data, from 682 sites worldwide.

The Smaller the Leaf Is, the Faster the Leaf Water Loses in a Temperate Forest
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Leaf size (i.e., leaf surface area and leaf dry mass) profoundly affects a variety of biological carbon, water and energy processes. Therefore, the remarkable variability in individual leaf size and its trade-off with total leaf number in a plant have ...

Leaf water content and palisade cell size [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2005 Summary The palisade cell sizes in leaves of Eucalyptus pauciflora were estimated in paradermal sections of cryo‐fixed leaves imaged in the cryo‐scanning electron microscope, as a quantity called the cell area fraction (CAF). Cell sizes were measured in detached leaves as a function of leaf water content, in intact leaves in the field during a day"s ...

Decline of Leaf Hydraulic Conductance with Dehydration: Relationship to Leaf Size and Venation Architecture [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2011 Abstract Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of which one major function is to replace water lost to transpiration. The leaf hydraulic conductance (K leaf) represents the capacity of the transport system to deliver water, allowing stomata to remain open for photosynthesis ...

International Journal of Horticultural Science, 2000 Regular observations and experiments were performed during a 14 year period on 6 sour cherry varieties. The morphological traits of leaves and fruits were compared, and the phenology of blooming as well as of ripening dates served to start an estimation ...

Light tuning of leaf size [PDF]
Science, 2019 Plant Science The Arabidopsis plant, when grown under intense light, develops thicker leaves than when grown under dim light. Hoshino et al. parse the various processes involved. Cell elongation and organized divisions underpin the thickness of leaves growing in intense light.

Plants, 2019 Tundra is one of the most sensitive biomes to climate warming. Understanding plant eco-physiological responses to warming is critical because these traits can give feedback on the effects of climate-warming on tundra ecosystem.
