Correlation of Leaf and Root Traits of Two Angiosperm Tree Species in Northeast China under Contrasting Light and Nitrogen Availabilities

Correlation of Leaf and Root Traits of Two Angiosperm Tree Species in Northeast China under Contrasting Light and Nitrogen Availabilities

Light and nitrogen availability are among the most important environmental factors influencing leaf and root morphological traits and forest ecosystems. Understanding the variation in leaf and root traits is pivotal to the adaptive plasticity and leaf-root-specific traits in response to low light an...
