Height is more important than light in determining leaf morphology in a tropical forest

Both within and between species, leaf physiological parameters are strongly related to leaf dry mass per area (LMA, g/m 2 ), which has been found to increase from forest floor to canopy top in every forest where it has been measured. Although vertical LMA gradients in forests have historically been...
