Cross‐species patterns in the coordination between leaf and stem traits, and their implications for plant hydraulics (2006, methodology): “At GHP, RHM and RHW, traits were measured at a standard sapwood cross-sectional area (10 mm 2 ; Pickup et al. 2005).”
Leaf morphology correlates with water and light availability: What consequences for simple and compound leaves? (2009, background): “Increasing the investment in petioles needs to synthesize more xylogens, and longer petioles will lead the leaf to bend [37].”
The leaf size/number trade‐off in trees (2007, background): “Why are there so many different sizes of leaves? This question has been addressed by several recent studies, where between-species variation in leaf size has been variously interpreted in terms of covariation with a wide range of other plant traits, including plant height (Ackerly & Donoghue 1998; K”
Leaf shape and venation pattern alter the support investments within leaf lamina in temperate species: a neglected source of leaf physiological differentiation? (2007, background): “Previously, it has been demonstrated that large-leaved species generally have relatively lower stem xylem crosssectional areas for a common leaf area supported (Pickup et al. 2005).”
