Different Measurement Protocols Impact Specific Leaf Area ( SLA ) Estimation in Simple Versus Compound Leaves

Journal of Vegetation Science
ABSTRACT Aims Specific leaf area (SLA), the ratio of leaf surface area to dry mass, is a key functional trait widely used to characterize resource allocation to light interception in plants. However, inconsistencies in SLA measurement—particularly whether petiolar tissues (such as petioles and ...

Specific Leaf Area and Photosynthesis of Apple Trees Under a Dynamic Agrivoltaic System [PDF]

AgriVoltaics Conference Proceedings
It has been assumed that crops cultivated in agrivoltaics (AV) systems can produce enough carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis because they are expose to an excess of light. However, many studies have shown increases in specific leaf area

The relationship of leaf photosynthetic traits – Vcmax and Jmax – to leaf nitrogen, leaf phosphorus, and specific leaf area: a meta-analysis and modeling study [PDF]

, 2014
Great uncertainty exists in the global exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere. An important source of this uncertainty lies in the dependency of photosynthesis on the maximum rate of carboxylation (Vcmax) and the maximum ...

Estimating pearl millet leaf area and specific leaf area [PDF]

, 1991
Leaf area and specific leaf area (SLA) are important parameters in many agronomic and ecological processes, but can be difficult and expensive to measure.

Regional-Scale Relationships of Leaf Area Index to Specific Leaf Area and Leaf Nitrogen Content [PDF]

, 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.

Leaf trait divergence between Azadirachta indica (exotic) and native species of the northern Brazilian coast [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The introduction of exotic plants can pose ecological threats as they may become invasive. We investigated leaf traits potentially linked to competitive advantage and invasiveness in Azadirachta indica, a widely used exotic tree in northeastern Brazil’s ...

Generality and Shifts in Leaf Trait Relationships Between Alpine Aquatic and Terrestrial Herbaceous Plants on the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Plant traits mirror both evolutionary and environmental filtering process with universal trait-trait relationships across plant groups. However, plants also develop unique traits precisely to different habitats, inducing deviations of the trait coupling ...

Leaf dry matter content is better at predicting above-ground net primary production than specific leaf area [PDF]

, 2017
1. Reliable modelling of above-ground Net Primary Production (aNPP) at fine resolution is a significant challenge. A promising avenue for improving process models is to include response and effect trait relationships.

Restored wetlands: interplay between environmental variables, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling. [PDF]

New Phytol
Assessing relationships between environmental conditions, aboveground and belowground plant traits, and carbon cycling in restored wetlands (grazed and ungrazed), compared to a baseline in near‐natural wetlands in Denmark, revealed that ecosystem functions can be restored, even in cases where plant biodiversity has not recovered.
