Abstract:In the present study, the variation of key leaf characteristics, such as SLA and
LMA in plant samples collected from four locations were determined using a
Li-Cor portable leaf area measuring device. The effect of seasonal, altitudinal
and climatic variations on SLA and LMA was evaluated. There were
significant differences (P<0.01) in SLA and LMA values in terms of localities,
months, temperature and precipitation. There were both elevation and seasonal
variables in SLA and LMA values. The highest… Show more
