On the relationship between the composition, morphology and function of leaves

Abstract: Summary 1.It is common practice to express measurements of leaf composition and morphology using dry mass as a basis. Relationships established using those measurements are difficult to interpret because the leaves may have different liquid contents or fractional air space. 2. In a previous theoretical investigation, we showed that the liquid content of leaves was important and the following hypotheses were proposed: (1) the mass of nitrogen per unit mass of liquid is relatively constant within leaves and (2) … Show more

“…2), indicating that the basic relationships are globally applicable (excluding succulent leaves such as those of CAM plants). The underlying basis of those relationships have been described by Roderick et al (1999b). At elevated [CO # ] the same trends are also apparent and interpretations based on the RSBS-model leaf indicate that a decline in Q is the most likely reason for the changes that have been observed.…”

Finally, the relationship between NDVI and VOD is influenced by the connection between AGB (m) and canopy cover (f ).…”
