Sentence examples for increase leaf from inspiring English sources

At high elevations, many species exhibit a reduction in leaf area (Kouwenberg et al. 2007), possibly as a response to increased levels of incident radiation that would increase leaf temperatures and transpiration rates through increased leaf to air vapour pressure deficit (Körner and Cochrane 1985).
