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 group of forty people arranged in chromatic order based on their colourful rain gear
A diagram describing the PFTC6 dataset, including leaf traits, leaf assimilation temperature responses, hyperspectral readings, canopy leaf temperatures, airborne multi-spectral imagery, CO2 fluxes, and microclimate, linking in with existing datasets on plant community and biomass.
Three years ago, I joined this fabulous group of researchers in western Norway for the sixth Plant Functional Traits Course. Now, we've published the dataset covering morphological traits, spectroscopy, carbon flux, and more:

The relative contributions of plant traits to invasiveness and impact through R, A and E of 32 plant species in grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau based on a structural equation model.
Shuping Guan et al. investigated the relative contributions of #PlantTraits to the potential #EcologicalImpacts of #InvasivePlantSpecies. But the results showed that there was no correlation between invasiveness and impacts of invasive species on the #TibetanPlateau.

It's always a pleasure to take part in the annual #SISV international congress🌿. This year with our great professor M.L. Carranza in the beautiful city of Siena 🐎. Can't wait for next Year. @LuciaSantoianni

A slide hypothesising how leaf traits vary between ontogenies.
A slide summarising leaf trait differences.
A slide showing how root traits may vary based on ontogeny.
Martyna Kotowska found that resprouting shoots had different leaf traits compared to seedlings. Next steps include measuring root traits. Get in touch if you're interested–her lab is looking for students!
