Specific leaf area of European Larch (<i>Larix decidua</i> Mill.). [PDF]
Trees (Berl West), 2016 The specific leaf area of European larch depends on branch height and canopy depth, indicating that both, the effect of hydraulic limitations and low water potentials in greater branch heights, and light availability affect specific leaf area. Specific leaf area (SLA) is defined as the ratio between projected leaf area and needle dry mass.

Stomatal Features, Specific Leaf Area and Water Relations in Three Pistachio Cultivars. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)Stomatal traits are determinants of plant water relations and may differ among cultivars within a given species. These features have been rarely studied in tree crops, such as pistachio (Pistacia vera L.), the cultivation of which is expanding in several

Estimating Pearl Millet Leaf Area and Specific Leaf Area [PDF]
Agronomy Journal, 1991 AbstractLeaf area and specific leaf area (SLA) are important parameters in many agronomic and ecological processes, but can be difficult and expensive to measure. This study was made to test simplified methods of estimating pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] leaf area and SLA. Leaf length, maximum width, area, and dry mass data were obtained

New data of plant leaf traits from Central Europe
Data in Brief, 2022 Trait-based ecology is gaining ground nowadays on species-based ecology: the number of research and publication focusing on the ecological role of taxa instead of the species themselves increased significantly in the last two decades. One great advantage

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?

Spatial and temporal variations in leaf area index, specific leaf area and leaf nitrogen of two co-occurring savanna tree species [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2004 Foliage growth, mass- and area-based leaf nitrogen concentrations (Nm and N a) and specific leaf area (SLA) were surveyed during a complete vegetation cycle for two co-occurring savanna tree species: Crossopteryx febrifuga (Afzel. ex G. Don) Benth. and Cussonia arborea A. Rich.
