Leaf Serration in Seedlings of Heteroblastic Woody Species Enhance Plasticity and Performance in Gaps But Not in the Understory
Figure 2
Differences in leaf morphological traits (leaf number/seedling (a), mean leaf size (b), and specific leaf area (c)) for homoblastic (□) and heteroblastic (■) Hoheria and Aristotelia species under canopy gap and forest understory light environments. Bars indicate ± standard error of the mean. Means marked by different letter are significantly different at level within a genus in gap or understory site.
