(Ecological Society of America, 2015-05-01)
      Understanding how plants are constructed—i.e., how key size dimensions and the amount of mass invested in different tissues varies among individuals—is essential for modeling plant growth, carbon stocks, and energy fluxes ...
    • Carbon isotopic signatures of soil organic matter correlate with leaf area index across woody biomes 

      Ladd, Brenton; Peri, Pablo Luis; Pepper, David A.; Silva, Lucas C.R.; Sheil, Douglas; Bonser, Stephen P.; Laffan, Shawn W.; Amelung, Wulf; Ekblad, Alf; Eliasson, Peter; Bahamonde, Héctor Alejandro; Duarte Guardia, Sandra; Bird, Michael I. (Wiley, 2014-11)
      Leaf area index (LAI), a measure of canopy density, is a key variable for modelling and understanding primary productivity, and also water use and energy exchange in forest ecosystems. However, LAI varies considerably with ...
