Description

Hierarchical sampling design with nested random effects (site, plot, tree, branch) to assess intraspecific trait variation while accounting for clonal structure. Multiple leaves collected per branch to capture within-tree variation.

Typical Equipment

portable photosynthesis system
drying oven
analytical balance
pH meter

Output Measurements

SLA
LDMC
LNC
leaf lifespan
photosynthetic capacity
dark respiration
