科学家早已注意到, 具有长叶寿命的植物通常生长于营养和(或) 水分较为缺乏的环境,
而具短叶寿命的植物一般生长在具有较高的营养可利用性地带. 国外大量的实验研究结果表明 …

Variation in leaf life—span has long been considered of ecological significance. Despite
this, quantitative evaluation of the relationships between leaf life—span and other plant and …

Leaf senescence is a major event in a plant's life history as autumn marks the end of the
growing season. The optimal timing of leaf senescence is crucial to both minimise risks of …

植物功能性状反映了植物对生长环境的响应和适应, 是植物与环境相互作用的结果.
植物功能性状之间的关系决定了植物的生活史对策, 进而影响多物种的共存和生物多样性的维持 …

Summary 1 A long leaf life span has been interpreted as an adaptation to low nutrient
availability. It is commonly assumed that a long leaf life span permits a longer utilization of …

Any theory of leaf phenology must predict leaf longevity, leaf habit, leaf expansion and its
timing among other variables. These phenological traits may be important keys to …

Leaf longevity is a fundamental process underlying patterns of variation in foliar phenology
and determining the distinction between deciduous and evergreen plant species. Variation …

Over the past two decades, society has become increasingly aware of problems of forest
degradation. The effects of forest degradation transcend individual countries and now …

Aim Species with deciduous and evergreen leaf habits typically differ in leaf life span (LLS).
Yet quantification of the response of LLS, within each habit, to key environmental conditions …

Aim At a global scale, the relationship of leaf longevity (LL) to mean annual temperature
(MAT) is positive for deciduous species but negative for evergreen species. The aim of this …
