Effects of succession stages and altitudinal gradient on leaf surface area and biomass allocation of typical plants in the subalpine of Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Effects of succession stages and altitudinal gradient on leaf surface area and biomass allocation of typical plants in the subalpine of Eastern Tibetan Plateau

Leaves are the main organs of plants for photosynthesis. The scaling relationship between leaf mass (LM) and leaf area (LA) can reflect the capabilities of plants to capture light energy, obtain net carbon benefits, and adapt to environmental changes. The LA-LM relationship is intimately associated...
