Distribution of leaf dissection and sclerophylly along microhabitat gradients in pteridophytes of the Cape peninsula
Plant species with small leaves and sclerophylls have been reported to occur mainly on dry, low-nutrient soils in situations of high insolation. However; a number of physiological functions have been proposed for the two sets of traits. Ferns are well-suited to the study of leaf structure and its im...
