A meta‐analysis of plant responses to light intensity for 70 traits ranging from molecules to whole plant performance
By means of meta‐analyses we determined how 70 traits related to plant anatomy,
morphology, chemistry, physiology, growth and reproduction are affected by daily light …

Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta‐analysis
Here, we analysed a wide range of literature data on the leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA).
In nature, LMA varies more than 100‐fold among species. Part of this variation (c. 35%) can …
