Regional‐Scale Relationships of Leaf Area Index to Specific Leaf Area and Leaf Nitrogen Content [PDF]

Ecological Applications, 1994
Specific leaf area (SLA) is an important link between vegetation water and carbon cycles because it describes the allocation of leaf biomass per unit of leaf area. Several studies in many vegetation types have shown that canopy SLA is closely related to canopy leaf nitrogen (N) content and photosynthetic capacity.

The relationship of leaf photosynthetic traits – V_cmax and J_max – to leaf nitrogen, leaf phosphorus, and specific leaf area: a meta‐analysis and modeling study [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2014
AbstractGreat uncertainty exists in the global exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere. An important source of this uncertainty lies in the dependency of photosynthesis on the maximum rate of carboxylation (Vcmax) and the maximum rate of electron transport (Jmax).

Measuring specific leaf area and water content v1 [PDF]

, 2018
Here we describe the standardised protocol used by the Canadian Airborne Biodiversity Observatory (CABO) to measure leaf water content and specific leaf area, using the WinFOLIA™ software (Régent Instruments). These leaf area and water measurements are done on a subset of leaves from the same bulk leaf sample used to measure leaf spectral reflectance ...

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

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)

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 ...

Effects of shading and soil compaction on the growth, leaf area and biomass allocation of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum)

Davao Research Journal, 2020
Plants are often exposed to stressors such as shading and soil compaction, influencing their morphology and physiology. This study aimed to determine the effects of shading (e.g.

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?

Shading Gradients Drive Differential Responses of Leaf Traits in an Early Community Germinated by Forest Topsoil

Diversity, 2022
Seedling performance in the early stage is crucial to natural forest restoration, and functional traits have been widely employed in exploring plant adaptation under field conditions.

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.
