Zero‐sum allocational strategies determine the allometry of specific leaf area [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2010 • Premise of the study: Specific leaf area (SLA) is a critical component of the leaf economics spectrum, and many functional leaf traits have been empirically demonstrated to covary with SLA. However, a complete understanding of how change in leaf size influences SLA has not yet emerged.• Methods: To help develop a more complete understanding of the ...

Shoot growth of woody trees and shrubs is predicted by maximum plant height and associated traits
, 2017 1. The rate of elongation and thickening of individual branches (shoots) varies across plant species. This variation is important for the outcome of competition and other plant-plant interactions.

Leaf Area Index Specification for Use in Mesoscale Weather Prediction Systems [PDF]
Monthly Weather Review, 2009 Abstract The energy budget at the surface is strongly influenced by the presence of vegetation, which alters the partitioning of thermal energy between sensible and latent heat fluxes. Despite its relevance, numerical weather prediction (NWP) systems often use only two parameters to describe the vegetation cover: the fractional area of ...

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2003 Litter fall collection is a direct method widely used to estimate leaf area index (LAI) in broad-leaved forest stands. Indirect measurements using radiation transmittance and gap fraction theory are often compared and calibrated against litter fall, which is considered as a reference method, but few studies address the question of litter specific leaf ...

Response of Leaf Traits of Eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Broad-Leaved Woody Plants to Climatic Factors
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Plant ecologists have long been interested in quantifying how leaf traits vary with climate factors, but there is a paucity of knowledge on these relationships given a large number of the relevant leaf traits and climate factors to be considered.
