Dependence of leaf structural indices in two forest maple species from within-crown irradiance

Abstract

N. Yu. Voloshina, N. A. Belyavskaya

The main leaf structural parameters of two genus Acer L. representatives (A. platanoides and A. tataricum) have been characterized. The responses of structural indices to within-crown light level have been studied. Inter-species differences have been revealed in irradiance adaptation at the cellular level.<
