Global Leaf Trait Relationships: Mass, Area, and the Leaf Economics Spectrum

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) describes multivariate correlations that constrain leaf traits of plant species primarily to a single axis of variation if data are normalized by leaf mass. We show that these traits are approximately distributed proportional to leaf area instead of mass, as expecte...
