Specific leaf area and leaf area index in developing stands of Fagus sylvatica L. and Picea abies Karst. [PDF]
Forest Ecology and Management, 2016 European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst.) are two of the most ecologically and economically important forest tree species in Europe. These two species co-occur in many locations in Europe, leading to direct competition for canopy space. Foliage characteristics of two naturally regenerated pure stands of beech and spruce

Correlation between relative growth rate and specific leaf area requires associations of specific leaf area with nitrogen absorption rate of roots [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2008 Close correlations between specific leaf area (SLA) and relative growth rate (RGR) have been reported in many studies. However, theoretically, SLA by itself has small net positive effect on RGR because any increase in SLA inevitably causes a decrease in area-based leaf nitrogen concentration (LNCa), another RGR component.

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.

SHADING EFFECTS ON GROWTH AND PARTITIONING OF PLANT BIOMASS IN PASPALUM CONJUGATUM BERG. [PDF]
Biotropia: The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Biology, 1992 Glasshouse studies were carried out to determine the effect of shading on the growth and partitioning of plant biomass in Paspalum conjugatum Berg. The invidual leaf rate expansion, final leaf are, specific leaf area, and the whole plant vegetative ...

Specific leaf area in barley: individual leaves versus whole plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1999 We have explored the relationships between specific leaf area calculated for a whole plant and its individual leaves. Barley was grown in hydroponics in controlled environment cabinets. Plants were harvested on the basis of physiological age (defined as the number of days after full expansion of leaves on the main stem) and the area and weight of whole,

Leaf nutrients, not specific leaf area, are consistent indicators of elevated nutrient inputs [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019 Leaf traits are frequently measured in ecology to provide a 'common currency' for predicting how anthropogenic pressures impact ecosystem function. Here, we test whether leaf traits consistently respond to experimental treatments across 27 globally distributed grassland sites across 4 continents. We find that specific leaf area (leaf area per unit 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.

Simulation of Leaf Area Development Based on Dry Matter Partitioning and Specific Leaf Area for Cut Chrysanthemum [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2002 This work aims to predict time courses of leaf area index (LAI) based on dry matter partitioning into the leaves and on specific leaf area of newly formed leaf biomass (SLA(n)) for year-round cut chrysanthemum crops. In five glasshouse experiments, each consisting of several plant densities and planted throughout the year, periodic destructive ...
