Variation in shade leaf thickness among urban trees growing in metropolitan Lexington, Kentucky

A linear displacement transducer was used to measure the leaf thickness of shade leaves collected from trees growing in metropolitan Lexington, Kentucky. Leaf thickness measurements are presented for 52 species which represent 35 genera. Leaf thickness varied from 140.5μm in Alnus incana to 515.6μm...

Zusammenfassung:A linear displacement transducer was used to measure the leaf thickness of shade leaves collected from trees growing in metropolitan Lexington, Kentucky. Leaf thickness measurements are presented for 52 species which represent 35 genera. Leaf thickness varied from 140.5μm in Alnus incana to 515.6μm in Ilex opaca. There was considerable variation among species of the same genera.
