Abstract:Leaf functional traits such as leaf mass per area (LMA) and nitrogen and chlorophyll content are potential indicators of tree growth performance because they reflect leaf physiological traits including photosynthetic capacity and are influenced by environmental stress. However, our knowledge of the leaf traits associated with growth is limited in teak (Tectona grandis). We investigated the relationship between leaf functional traits and growth rate in four Malaysian teak stands varying from 14 to 46 years of a… Show more
