Specific leaf area: a predictive model using dried samples
Australian Journal of Botany, 2013Specific leaf area (SLA; fresh-leaf area/dry mass) describes the amount of leaf area for light capture per unit of biomass invested. The standard protocol is simple; however, it requires recently collected sun-exposed leaves to determine fresh-leaf area, limiting where and which samples can be studied.

Specific leaf area and leaf dry matter content as alternative predictors of plant strategies
New Phytologist, 1999 A key element of most recently proposed plant strategy schemes is an axis of resource capture, usage and availability. In the search for a simple, robust plant trait (or traits) that will allow plants to be located on this axis, specific leaf area is one of the leading contenders.

Utkin et al.'s dataset on specific leaf area
Ecology, 2022AbstractSpecific leaf area (SLA; one‐sided leaf area per unit of dry mass) is a key trait indicating plant growth strategy and its responses to changing environments. Despite its high relevance for ecological research and recent efforts to mobilize the trait data, information on SLA in many plant lineages and biogeographic regions is still ...

Leaf Area Index and Specific Leaf Area Determinations
Journal of Agronomic Education, 1972ABSTRACTLeaf area is measured by several methods and area per unit leaf weight (specific leaf area) is calculated. Leaf area index is then calculated as the product of leaf yield and specific leaf area. Procedures and equipment needed are described.

ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC LEAF SURFACE AREA
American Journal of Botany, 1970A method for the estimation of specific leaf surface area was developed as an aid in the interpretation of radionuclide penetration or gas diffusion data. The estimate was obtained by comparing the contour of the surface with the linear distance of the observed thin cross sections of a leaf replica.

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2021
Abstract Litterfall collection is a non-destructive direct method to estimate forest leaf area index (LAI) and validate indirect LAI products. However, the potential errors associated with the variation in specific leaf area (SLA) are rarely explored. Here, we measured the SLA of leaf litter for each tree species in a temperate deciduous forest using

Specific leaf area and leaf area index distribution in a young Douglas-fir plantation
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1986The spatial distribution of specific leaf area and leaf area index of needles in different age classes has been investigated in a young and unthinned Douglas-fir (Pseudotsugamenziesii (Mirb.) Franco) plantation in Central Italy through the destructive analysis of 12 trees sampled in four diameter size classes.

Variation of specific leaf area and upscaling to leaf area index in mature Scots pine
Trees, 2006Reliable and objective estimations of specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf area index (LAI) are essential for accurate estimates of the canopy carbon gain of trees. The variation in SLA with needle age and position in the crown was investigated for a 73-year-old Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stand in the Belgian Campine region.

Estimating potato leaf area index for specific cultivars
Potato Research, 1997The growth and duration of crop leaf area determines the amount of solar radiation intercepted by the canopy and therefore influences the extent of photosynthesis, evaporation, transpiration and final dry matter yield. The objective of this study was to develop cultivar specific relationships to estimate the daily leaf area index (LAI) for the potato ...
