Does investment in leaf defenses drive changes in leaf economic strategy? A focus on whole-plant ontogeny.

Oecologia - 1 Apr 2015

Mason Chase M, Donovan Lisa A

Abstract excerpt

Leaf defenses have long been studied in the context of plant growth rate, resource availability, and optimal investment theory. Likewise, one of the central modern paradigms of plant ecophysiology, the leaf economics spectrum (LES), has been extensively studied in the context of these factors across ecological scales ranging from global species data sets to temporal shifts within individuals. Despite strong...
