Variation of leaf shape with tree size: a case study using Camptotheca acuminata Decne

The Montgomery equation (ME) assumes that leaf area (A) is proportional to the product of leaf length (L) and width (W). Leaf shape is found to determine the ME’s proportionality coefficient, i.e., the Montgomery parameter (MP). However, prior work seldom reported the influence of tree size (reflect...
