Response of Chlorophyll, Carotenoid and SPAD-502 Measurement to Salinity and Nutrient Stress in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (2017, background): “In typical cases [81,100,103], SLA has shown decreased values under drought/salinity stress as an adaptation to the prevailing stress.”
Leaf attributes and tree growth in a tropical dry forest (2011, background): “According to Medrano et al. (2009), under drought conditions, plants optimize carbon assimilation and minimize water loss by decreasing stomatal conductance, thereby increasing WUEi during the period of low soil water availability.”
Density, size and distribution of stomata in 35 rainforest tree species in Central Amazonia (2011, unknown): “Dry leaf thickness was measured in 240-mm2-leaf circles (two per leaf ) punched from the widest part of the leaf blade, and between the major veins with digital calipers, as previously described (Marenco et al. 2009).”
Assessing foliar chlorophyll contents with the SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter: a calibration test with thirteen tree species of tropical rainforest in French Guiana (2010, methodology): “Nondestructive methods have therefore been developed and inexpensive optical chlorophyll meters, such as the SPAD-502 (Konica Minolta, Osaka, Japan), are frequently used (Hawkins et al., 2009; Marenco et al., 2009; Pinkard et al., 2006; Uddling et al., 2007).”
