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.
