e0“The simulation of carbon balance at leaf level was very well correlated with the relative growth rates (RGR) of seedlings, indicating that the leaf characteristics (variables obtained by the light curves and SLA) may be a good predictor of the relative growth rate under contrasting light and water conditions.”
