Does anyone have specific leaf area (SLA) or leaf mass per area (LMA) measurements for adult leaves of #Eucalyptus pellita or #Corymbia tessellaris that they'd be willing to share with me?

A summary slide showing relationships between N area to mean annual temp and wood density and leaf thickness to mean annual precipitation.

Travis Britton compared trait measurements from #AusTraits in natural conditions to Eucalyptus grown in a common garden and found conserved relationships between N to MAT and wood density + leaf thickness to MAP. Very clever study and good use of existing databases and common gardens.

AusTraits floras workshop at Botanic Gardens of Sydney: so thrilled about how it all went!! We invited reps from each Australian state/territory to discuss how online floras could be expanded to display data from a broad range of traits (including ecological, morphological). #austraits #floras
