Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Leaf lifespans varied about threefold, from 50 to 176 days.
- Observation Cedrela odorata had the shortest-lived leaves.
- Observation Hyeronima alchorneoides had the longest-lived leaves.
- Observation Hyeronima alchorneoides had the highest cumulative nitrogen- and phosphorus-use efficiencies.
- Observation Potential phosphorus-use efficiency was invariant among species.
- Mechanism The authors suggest a possible tradeoff between leaf traits supporting high potential and cumulative nutrient-use efficiencies.
- Mechanism High potential nutrient-use efficiency may benefit species in high-nutrient environments.
- Mechanism High cumulative nutrient-use efficiency may benefit species in low-nutrient environments.
