Cyanobacteria can provide an important source of nitrogen for mosses, but some mosses are better at attracting them than others.
A one-size-fits-all estimate of leaf area has drawbacks if not all your leaves are the same shape.
Scientists present 28 recommendations for studying plant intraspecific trait variation.
Martin and Issac quantified size-dependent variation in eight leaf traits in a single coffee genotype (Coffea arabica var. Caturra) in managed agroecosystems.
Do M. malabathricum seedlings respond positively to the
addition of aluminium to the growth medium?
Native and invading plants vary differently in leaf shape in response to climate. Curiously, sometimes the native plants are more acquisitive than the invaders.
