Leaf Size and Shape Interact to Control Flammability: An Experiment With Artificial Leaves Cut From the Large‐Leaved Species <i>Sapranthus palanga</i>
ABSTRACT We evaluated the flammability of leaves based on their shape and size using a single species. Rectangular and triangular shapes showed high flammability that did not vary with size, while circular shapes had minimal flammability, but this varied with size. These findings indicate that leaf shape and size impact flammability.
