How cellulose-based leaf toughness and lamina density contribute to long leaf lifespans of shade-tolerant species.

Abstract excerpt

Cell wall fibre and lamina density may interactively affect leaf toughness and leaf lifespan. Here, we tested this with seedlings of 24 neotropical tree species differing in shade tolerance and leaf lifespan under standardized field conditions (140-867 d in gaps; longer in shade). We quantified t...
