Estimation of crown characters and leaf biomass from leaf litter in a Malaysian canopy species, Elateriospermum tapos (Euphorbiaceae)

We estimated crown characteristics, such as median crown height, leaf fall rate and leaf biomass, from litter leaves for a Malaysian canopy species, Elateriospermum tapos. Leaf morphology was compared between the harvested and litter leaves for trees of various heights. Also, litter traps were set s...
