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.

Specific leaf area responses to environmental gradients through space and time [PDF]
Ecology, 2014 Plant communities can respond to environmental changes by altering their species composition and by individuals (within species) adjusting their physiology. These responses can be captured by measuring key functional traits among and within species along

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
