Introducing entropy-based metrics for quantifying edge- and macro-shape complexity in leaves and beyond

2026-08-27

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Leaf shape is a fundamental trait of plant ecological strategies, influencing biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. However, established quantitative metrics fail to capture subtle variations and irregularities, require user-based reference points or are challenging to compare among taxa with broadly different leaf shapes. In addition, established metrics typically conflate (aggregate)...
