Abstract Background and Aims Leaf size has considerable ecological relevance, making it
desirable to obtain leaf size estimations for as many species worldwide as possible. Current …

Plant leaves exhibit diverse shapes that enable them to utilize a light resource maximally. If
there were a general parametric model that could be used to calculate leaf area for different …

Key message A generalized performance equation is proposed to fit the Lorenz curve of the
leaf size distribution of an individual plant and is validated using 12 individual bamboo …

The leaf area, as an important leaf functional trait, is thought to be related to leaf length and
width. Our recent study showed that the Montgomery equation, which assumes that leaf area …

Urban trees have capacity to reduce atmospheric particulate matters (PM) concentration
through deposition on leaves. However, we have very limited studies on the contribution of …

The simplified Gielis equation (SGE) can approximately describe the leaf shapes of many
different broad-leaved plant species by replacing two parameters of the SGE with leaf width …

Crowdsourced images hold information could potentially be used to remotely monitor
heritage sites, and reduce human and capital resources devoted to on-site inspections. This …

Background Rice forms a significant portion of food consumed in most household
worldwide. Rice production has been hampered by soil factors such as ferruginousity which …

Aim Species diversity on islands generally increases with island area. This might arise either
from direct effects of island area via neutral assembly processes or from indirect effects via …

Premise Field images are important sources of information for research in the natural
sciences. However, images that lack photogrammetric scale bars, including most iNaturalist …
