Proportional Relationship between Leaf Area and the Product of Leaf Length and Width of Four Types of Special Leaf Shapes
The leaf area, as an important leaf functional trait, is thought to be related to leaf length and width. Our recent study showed that the Montgomery equation, which assumes that leaf area is proportional to the product of leaf length and width, applied to different leaf shapes, and the coefficient o...
