Response of growth patterns in sweet pepper to different NPK levels

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2008
This work was conducted to study the effect of five NPK fertigation levels on the growth rate of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Bruyo) grown under the plastic greenhouse using different growth analysis formulas. Leaf area ratio (LAR), specific leaf

Active layer depth and soil properties impact specific leaf area variation and ecosystem productivity in a boreal forest.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Specific leaf area (SLA, leaf area per unit dry mass) is a key canopy structural characteristic, a measure of photosynthetic capacity, and an important input into many terrestrial process models.

Responses in leaf water status of Quercus castaneifolia C.A.Mey and Carpinus betulus L. exposed to cement dust pollution in Northern Iran

Journal of Forest Science, 2023
Industrial air pollution, particularly cement dust, affects the leaf water status and resource utilisation and finally decreases primary production. Evaluating the relative water content (RWC), leaf mass per unit area (LMA), specific leaf area (SLA), and

Ecological strategies of Al-accumulating and non-accumulating functional groups from the cerrado sensu stricto

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2015
The cerrado's flora comprises aluminum-(Al) accumulating and non-accumulating plants, which coexist on acidic and Al-rich soils with low fertility. Despite their existence, the ecological importance or biological strategies of these functional groups ...

Accumulation of three different sizes of particulate matter on plant leaf surfaces: Effect on leaf traits [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015
Plants not only improve air quality by adsorbing particulate matter (PM) on leaf surfaces but can also be affected by their accumulation. In this study, a field investigation was performed in Wuhan, China, into the relationship between seven ...

Growth form, regeneration mode, and vegetation type explain leaf trait variability at the species and community levels in Mediterranean woody vegetation

Ecology and Evolution
Leaf traits are good indicators of ecosystem functioning and plant adaptations to environmental conditions. We examined whether leaf trait variability at species and community levels in Mediterranean woody vegetation is explained by growth form ...
