Variation in Leaf Morphological Traits of European Beech and Norway Spruce Over Two Decades in Switzerland

Leaf morphological traits (LMTs) of forest trees have been observed to vary across space and species. However, long-term records of LMTs are scarce, due to a lack of measurements and systematic leaf archives. This leaves a large gap in our understanding of the temporal dynamics and drivers of LMT va...
