Leaf fracture toughness and sclerophylly: their correlations and ecological implications. New Phytologist 121 (4) : 597-610. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Measured the fracture toughness of sun-leaves of 42 tropical tree species growing in Singapore; 37 of the species were from three definable plant communities, namely mangroves, trema belukar (secondary forest on undegraded sites) and adinandra belukar (secondary forest on highly degraded soils). There was a highly significant positive correlation between fracture toughness and index of sclerophylly for the 42 species, brought about largely by a high correlation between toughness and crude fibre content. -from Authors | Source Title: | New Phytologist | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/99773 | ISSN: | 0028646X |
