This adds further generality to the finding from a previous data compilation where PNUE was shown to be negatively correlated with leaf lifespan (Reich et al., 1992). At least three factors could contribute to species with high LMA (thicker or denser leaf tissue, or both) having lower photosynthetic capacity at a given leaf N (Reich et al., 1998). First, the path of CO2 diffusion may be more tortuous, that is, they suffer a higher degree of diffusional limitation to photosynthesis (Parkhurst, 1994; Enriquez et al., 1996). Second, a lower fraction of light may be transmitted through the leaf, that is, photosynthesis may be relatively more light-limited (Green \& Kruger, 2001). Third, leaf N may be partitioned differently in high-LMA species, with a greater fraction occurring in nonphotosynthetic components (Hikosaka et al., 1998; Poorter \& Evans, 1998; Hikosaka \& Hirose, 2000). These prospective explanations are not mutually exclusive. But in our view the third point, in particular, warrants further systematic investigation across the vegetation of the world.}, interhash = {8e38faa41dc5f7bccb462a5b38cea90d}, intrahash = {4c8e63e71968fa948b71265d64ee95ef}, journal = {New Phytologist}, keywords = {bibtex-import, citeulikeExport gas\_exchange, nitrogen, unread}, pages = {485--496}, posted-at = {2007-07-31 07:40:19}, priority = {2}, timestamp = {2019-03-31T01:16:26.000+0100}, title = {{Assessing the generality of global leaf trait relationships}}, volume = 166, year = 2005 }
