Traits

We will measure the following functional traits.

• LA: leaf area \(cm^{2}\)
• LDMC: leaf dry matter content \(g.g^{-1}\)
• LT: leaf thickness (\(\mu m\))
• SLA: specific leaf area (\(g.cm^{-2}\))
• TLP: leaf water potential at which leaf cells lose turgor (\(MPa\)), a key drought tolerance trait.
• Nmass: leaf nitrogen mass content (\(mg.g^{-1}\))
• Pmass: leaf phosphorus mass content (\(mg.g^{-1}\))
• WD: wood density (\(g.cm^{-3}\),)

They will necessitate the following raw measurements:

• Leaf fresh thickness (LT)
• Leaf SPAD measurement (CC)
• Leaf fresh weight (LDMC, SLA, RWC)
• Leaf scan (LA, MajVLA)
• Leaf saturated weight (RWC)
• Leaf saturated water potential (TLP)
• Wood dry mass (WDM)
• Wood saturated volume (WSV)
