Other claims from this paper (17)
- Association Higher irradiance increased foliage aggregation and area density.
- Association Higher irradiance altered foliage area angular distribution to a minor degree.
- Association Greater foliage aggregation lowered light harvesting efficiency.
- Association Greater aggregation accompanied greater foliar biomass investment in high light.
- Association P. patula light harvesting characteristics were independent of light.
- Association Shoots were larger at higher irradiance across species.
- Association Shoot axis biomass fraction increased with irradiance.
- Association Species differed significantly in light harvesting efficiency linked to foliage and shoot size.
- Observation Foliage element length ranged from 1.1 to 31.4 cm.
- Observation Shoot axis length ranged from 1.2 to 36.5 cm.
- Observation Shoot cylinder volume varied four orders of magnitude.
- Observation Foliage area density varied three orders of magnitude.
- Association Foliage clumping scaled positively with foliage area density.
- Association Foliage clumping scaled negatively with foliage element length.
- Association Foliage clumping was positively associated with foliage dry mass to silhouette area ratio.
- Association Light harvesting efficiency generally increased with foliage element length.
- Mechanism Bending of longer foliage elements and support costs limited the efficiency gain.
