In each area, 10 individuals were selected and leaves in sunlight were collected for an analysis of functional leaf traits, including: fresh and dry leaf mass, leaf area, specific leaf area, succulence, stem diameter, plant height and tissue thickness. Environmental variables were measured considering soil mineral nutrition, water availability and photosyntheticall… Show more
