Leaf lifespan and lifetime carbon balance of individual leaves in a stand of an annual herb, Xanthium canadense

Leaf lifespan in response to resource availability has been documented in many studies, but it still remains uncertain what determines the timing of leaf shedding. Here, we evaluate the lifetime carbon (C) balance of a leaf in a canopy as influenced by nitrogen (N) availability. Stands of Xanthium c...
