Altered leaf functional traits by nitrogen addition in a nutrient-poor pine plantation: A consequence of decreased phosphorus availability

Scientific Reports, 2017
This study aimed to determine how specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) respond to N addition and understory vegetation removal in a 13-year-old Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) plantation.

Estimation of leaf area index and assessment of its allometric equations in oak forests: Northern Zagros, Iran

Journal of Forest Science, 2012
The focus of the present study is the estimation of leaf area index (LAI) and the assessment of allometric equations for predicting the leaf area of Lebanon oaks (Quercus libani Oliv.) in Iran's northern Zagros forests.

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 ...
