Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Minimum stomatal resistance of sun tree leaves was 1.7 to 6.2 s cm-1.
- Observation Minimum stomatal resistance of shrub leaves was 6.1 to 10.8 s cm-1.
- Observation Minimum stomatal resistance of herbaceous species leaves was 4.8 to 9.7 s cm-1.
- Observation Minimum daily leaf resistance occurred earlier in the morning in sun leaves of large trees than in shade leaves of other species.
- Mechanism Differences in leaf resistance among species may be explained by leaf anatomy and leaf position in the canopy.
