Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Leaf area and dry mass per leaf increased with foliar nitrogen and tree height in all three Betula species.
- Association Leaf dry mass per area increased with tree height.
- Association Leaf dry mass per area decreased with foliar nitrogen.
- Association Larger plants had lower foliage biomass fraction and foliar area per plant biomass.
- Association Greater foliar nitrogen was associated with greater foliage biomass fraction and foliar area per plant biomass.
- Association Whole plant and exposed leaf M(A) correlated similarly with nitrogen and height.
- Association Electron transport per dry mass rose with foliar nitrogen.
- Observation Leaf traits varied threefold, while foliage fraction varied 20-fold and leaf area ratio 30-fold.
- Observation The foliage biomass fraction varied 20-fold.
- Observation Leaf area ratio varied 30-fold.
- Observation Interspecific differences in relationship significance were consistent and suggested faster growing species respond more plastically to nitrogen and height.
