Measuring specific leaf area and water content v1 [PDF]
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 ...

Functional traits of expanding, thicket-forming shrubs: contrasting strategies between exotic and native species [PDF]
Woody expansion has been documented for decades in many different systems globally, often yielding vast changes in ecosystem functioning. While causes and consequences of woody expansion have been well documented, few studies have addressed plant ...

Specific leaf area explains differences in leaf traits between congeneric savanna and forest trees [PDF]
Summary Leaf traits are commonly associated with the life history, distribution and resource requirements of a species. To improve our understanding of the ecological and physiological differences between tropical savanna and forest trees, we compared leaf traits of species native to savanna and gallery (riverine) forests in the Cerrado region of ...

UBP12 and UBP13 negatively regulate the activity of the ubiquitin-dependent peptidases DA1, DAR1 and DAR2 [PDF]
Protein ubiquitination is a very diverse post-translational modification leading to protein degradation or delocalization, or altering protein activity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, two E3 ligases, BIG BROTHER (BB) and DA2, activate the latent peptidases DA1,

Pollarding effects on Lebanon oak (Quercus libani Oliv.) leaf properties in Baneh forests [PDF]
To evaluate the morphological effects of pollarding on Lebanon oak (Quercus libani Oliv.) leaves, we selected 35 trees in untouched stands and stands which have trees with one, two and three years after pollarding.

Changes in oak (Quercus robur) photosynthesis after winter moth (Operophtera brumata) herbivory are not explained by changes in chemical or structural leaf traits [PDF]
Insect herbivores have the potential to change both physical and chemical traits of their host plant. Although the impacts of herbivores on their hosts have been widely studied, experiments assessing changes in multiple leaf traits or functions ...

Growth, physiology and yield responses of cabbage to deficit irrigation
Field experiments were conducted in two seasons to investigate growth, physiology and yield responses of cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. cvs Pennant and Rio Grande) to deficit irrigation.
