Regional‐Scale Relationships of Leaf Area Index to Specific Leaf Area and Leaf Nitrogen Content
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.

Leaf Traits of Trees in Tropical Dry Evergreen Forests of Peninsular India
Ecologies, 2021 A plant functional trait study was conducted to know the existing relationship between important leaf traits namely, specific leaf area (SLA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), and leaf life span (LL) in tropical dry evergreen forest (TDEFs) of Peninsular ...

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

Components of leaf elongation rate and their relationship to specific leaf area in contrasting grasses [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2003 Summary In grasses the leaf growth zone is the main site of shoot growth where anatomical and chemical characteristics of leaves originate. Yet, there is insufficient information to generalize as to whether the leaf growth zone reflects habitat characteristics, whether leaf growth traits are regularly interrelated, and whether they coincide with ...

Environmental and developmental controls on specific leaf area are little modified by leaf allometry [PDF]
Functional Ecology, 2008 Summary 1. Recent work shows that large leaves tend to require higher biomass investments per unit leaf area than small leaves. As a consequence, specific leaf area (SLA), which is a focus trait for a bulk of physiological and ecological research programs, is dependent on leaf size variation.

Plants, 2022 Plant growth is almost always limited by light availability and competition. However, plants are generally plastic and can change their morphology and biomass allocation to optimize growth under suboptimal conditions.
