Resolving the contrasting leaf hydraulic adaptation of <span>C<sub>3</sub></span> and <span>C<sub>4</sub></span> grasses Open
Summary Grasses are exceptionally productive, yet their hydraulic adaptation is paradoxical. Among C 3 grasses, a high photosynthetic rate ( A area ) may depend on higher vein density ( D v ) and hydraulic conductance ( K leaf ). However, …

How and why do species break a developmental trade‐off? Elucidating the association of trichomes and stomata across species Open
Premise Previous studies have suggested a trade‐off between trichome density ( D t ) and stomatal density ( D s ) due to shared cell precursors. We clarified how, when, and why this developmental trade‐off may be overcome across species. M…

Allometries of cell and tissue anatomy and photosynthetic rate across leaves of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> grasses Open
Allometric relationships among the dimensions of leaves and their cells hold across diverse eudicotyledons, but have remained untested in the leaves of grasses. We hypothesised that geometric (proportional) allometries of cell sizes across…

Optimal Community Assembly Related to Leaf Economic- Hydraulic-Anatomical Traits Open
Multi-dimensional trait mechanisms underlying community assembly at regional scales are largely unclear. In this study, we measured leaf economic, hydraulic and anatomical traits of 394 tree species from tropical to cold temperate forests,…
