Leaf Serration in Seedlings of Heteroblastic Woody Species Enhance Plasticity and Performance in Gaps But Not in the Understory

Differences in leaf shapes of homoblastic and heteroblastic (hetero) species after 18 months growth in canopy gap (a), and forest understory (b) sties relative to their initial shape (partial shade = C). Bar = 2.5 cm.
