Reduced stomatal frequency with rising elevation for Kobresia royleana on the Tibetan Plateau
Knowledge about within-species variation in stomatal frequency with varying elevation at very high elevations is rare, which is crucial for us to understand how alpine plants are adapted to the extreme environment.

Abstract Based on a linear mixed-effect model, we propose here a non-destructive, rapid and reliable way for estimating leaf area, leaf mass and specific leaf area (SLA) at leaf scale for broadleaf species. For the construction of the model, the product of leaf length by width (LW) was the optimum variable to predict the leaf area of five deciduous ...

Effect of pruning and thinning intensity on Eucalyptus nitens leaf area [PDF]
Eucalyptus nitens is an important commercial fast growing species planted mainly in Chile and Australia (Tasmania). In Chile there are not previously published studies quantifying leaf area in adult forest plantations of E. nitens.
