Scaling relationships of lamina mass per unit area, mean thickness, and leaf bulk tissue density across nine diverse species
These results indicate that empirical measurements of LMA and LT can be used to accurately estimate leaf bulk tissue density, which provides insights into adaptive life-history strategies, conspecific variation, and (with sufficiently large data sets) phylogenetic trends.
