Abstract:The leaf ecophysiological traits are expected to change with the leaf
age, and tree age. Leaf phenology and tree age (seedling, sapling, and
tree stages) was a stronger driver of changes in ecophysiological
traits. In the present study, we measured effect of leaf phenophases
(initiation stage, expansion stage, and senescence stages) and tree age
(seedling, sapling, and tree stages) on the leaf physiological and
morphological traits of nitrogen-fixing Alnus nepalensis (D.
Don), a pioneer tree species in the cen… Show more
