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

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.

Patterns and drivers of community specific leaf area in China
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Specific leaf area (SLA), an important functional trait, reflects the abilities of light capture and adaption to environments of plants. Earlier spatiotemporal changes in SLA at the species level have been widely studied.

Prospect inversion for indirect estimation of leaf dry matter content and specific leaf area [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 Quantification of vegetation properties plays an indispensable role in assessments of ecosystem function with leaf dry mater content (LDMC) and specific leaf area (SLA) being two important vegetation properties.

Specific Leaf Area and Dry Matter Content Estimate Thickness in Laminar Leaves [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2005 Leaf thickness plays an important role in leaf and plant functioning, and relates to a species' strategy of resource acquisition and use. As such, it has been widely used for screening purposes in crop science and community ecology. However, since its measurement is not straightforward, a number of estimates have been proposed.
