Leaves at low versus high rainfall : coordination of structure, lifespan and physiology

•  Across species, leaf lifespan (LL) tends to be correlated with leaf mass per area (LMA). Previously we found that Australian perennial species from low-rainfall sites had c . 40% shorter LL at a given LMA than high-rainfall species. •  Here we relate indices of leaf strength (work to shear, W she...
