“…This resulted in a higher leaf compactness, which can be interpreted as a protective mechanism decreasing photochemical damages to the photosynthetic apparatus (Abril and Hanano, 1998;Castro-Díez et al, 1998;Gratani and Varone, 2004). The results suggest that changes in the internal leaf structure may play an adaptive role in response to climatic factors which change during the year, and in particular, the highest LMA of summer leaves can be used as a measure of investment per unit of leaf area in full sun (Grubb, 2002).…”

“…All the considered species produced significantly thicker sun leaves compared to shade ones (on an average 0.45 times); it was due in particular to palisade mesophyll (61%, mean of the three species), spongy mesophyll (38%), and the superior cuticle (36%) thickness. The higher leaf consistency (higher LMA) of sun leaves could be used as a measure of investment per unit leaf area in condition of full sun, according to Grubb (2002), while the larger and thinner shade leaves (higher SLA) were more advantageous for light capture under low light, according to the results of Gratani and Foti (1998).…”

“…While abiotic constraints must broadly limit the range of possible trait values in a community, several studies have emphasized that a large proportion of ‘global trait space’ can be present within a single location or community (Grubb ; Westoby & Wright ; Richardson et al. ; Liu et al.…”
