Leaf mass per area: An investigation into the application of the ubiquitous functional trait from a paleobotanical perspective
The correlations that make up the leaf economics spectrum are stronger than the correlations between LMA and climate, phylogeny, morphospace, or depositional environment. Fossil LMA should be understood as the culmination of the influences of these variables rather than as a predictor.
