Semideciduous Seasonal Forest Production of Leaves and Deciduousness in Function of the Water Balance, LAI, and NDVI

Table 6

Observed and estimated data of dry leaf weight (Dlw), error of estimation (%), and fixed carbon in the leaves (C) considering 42.3% of the biomass (average value of contents in leaves of forest species is obtained by Watzlawick et al., 2011 [31]), captured CO₂, by the equivalence of atomic weight between C (12 g) and CO₂ (44 g), with the observed data and that estimated by the model.
