Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Leaves respond to environmental signals and acclimate to local conditions until their ecological limits are reached. Understanding the relationships between anatomical variation in leaves and the availability of water and light improves our ability to predict ecosystem-level impacts of foliar response to climate change, as it expands our knowledge of tree physiology. METHODS: We examined...
