Sentence examples for mass per unit leaf from inspiring English sources

First, we produced a semi-empirical model for the vertical integration of leaf dry mass per unit leaf area.

Since leaf mass per unit leaf area (MA) is closely related to long-term light interception by leaves, the latter can be estimated by measuring MA .

Leaf mass per unit leaf area (LMA, mg cm-2) was calculated by the ratio of DM and LA (Reich et al. 1992).

Dry mass per unit leaf area could then be calculated for each leaf.

We harvested some of our treated cucumber leaves throughout the experiment for measurements of leaf mass per unit leaf area (LMA) and of nutritional content.

We found that the two treatments did not differ with respect to mean (± 1 se) mass per unit leaf area mg cm-2 (Elow 1.14 ± 0.04, Ehigh 1.11 ± 0.04, t = −0.54, d.f. = 58, P = 0.56).

In an effort to elucidate the physiological processes involved in cowpea differential growth response of four major USA cowpea cultivars (CB5, CB27, 8517 and 7964) to increasing salinity, we investigated the effect of salinity on leaf gas exchange of net photosynthetic rate per unit leaf mass (Pnm) and per unit leaf area (Pna), and stomatal conductance (gs) of the four cowpea cultivars.

In both species, increases in light availability resulted in larger net assimilation rate (NAR, total plant biomass production rate per unit leaf area), root mass fraction (FR) and leaf mass per unit area (MA), but reductions in leaf area ratio (LAR, foliage area per total plant dry mass), stem mass fraction (FS) and leaf mass fraction (FL).

The total leaf mass and area, leaf area efficiency (shoot growth per unit leaf area, EA), area-based leaf N content (NA), total leaf N pool (NL) and leaf N efficiency (shoot growth per unit leaf N, EN) were assessed.

Under whitening, the transpiration rate per unit leaf area was significantly higher for the dense canopy.

As a result, stomatal regulation caused restricted carbon assimilation per unit leaf area.
