Leaf toughness increases with tree height and is associated with internal leaf structure and photosynthetic traits in a tropical rain forest
Although leaf toughness is an essential plant adaptation to herbivore pressure and environmental stress, the relationships of leaf toughness with leaf anatomy and photosynthetic traits, and its spatial variations within tropical rainforests, remain poorly understood. We measured these traits in 103...
