Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Stomata were found only on the abaxial leaf surface across species.
- Observation Stomatal density and size varied widely among species.
- Observation In most species stomatal density ranged from 271 to 543 mm-2.
- Association Stomatal density and size were negatively related.
- Association Stomatal density was positively related to tree height (r² = 0.14, p < 0.01).
- Association Stomatal density was not correlated with leaf thickness.
- Observation Anomocytic stomata were most common at 37%.
- Observation Paracytic stomata accounted for 26%.
- Observation Anisocytic stomata accounted for 11%.
- Mechanism The authors infer stomatal distribution depends on species genetic background more than environmental changes.
- Mechanism The authors infer tree height dependent environmental factors influence stomatal density.
