Are shade tolerance and canopy gradient affecting twig-leaf trait scaling relationships in temperate forests? Abstract. Scaling relationships among twig size, leaf size and leafing intensity is pivotal in understanding plant resource allocation and carbon investmen

Are #ShadeTolerance and #CanopyGradient affecting #Twig-leafTraitScaling relationships in #TemperateForests? Tao Zeng et al. studied it. The results showed shade tolerance altered the scaling relationships between twig and leaf size, as well as leafing intensity.
