-Protection: Both types have protective functions, but the leaf epidermis has additional adaptations (like the cuticle) to prevent desiccation. Summary: The epidermis of the leaf differs from that of the root in terms of structure and function. The root epidermis is adapted for water and mineral...
Cost/ benefit models for traits that directly influence gas exchange — such as the size, inclination, and reflectivity of leaves and the profile and aerodynamic roughness of canopies — suggest a basis for the paradoxical duality of morphological adaptations to drought and nutrient poverty. Models ...
Yet, we assumed constant photosynthesis parameters to allow testing our hypothesis on the effect of stomatal and leaf morphological adaptations on leaf gas exchange. Liquid-phase model. Our simulations for liquid-phase water transport were based on a previously published semiempirical model14. This ...
The leaves of most plants have a flat and broad structure to support photosynthesis and gas exchange. Given their adaptations to different natural habitats, leaf forms can be broadly grouped into two categories: simple leaves, which consist of one entire unit with a single lamina, and compound ...
would lay the theoretical basis for vegetation screening and recov- ery of the hydro-fluctuation belt. Our aim was to describe the adaptations the species manifests when surviving long periods of complete submergence and thriving well after re-emergence. We hypothesized that (1) growth and pho...
Ecological Morphology and Flight in Bats (Mammalia; Chiroptera): Wing Adaptations, Flight Performance, Foraging Strategy and Echolocation Bat wing morphology is considered in relation to flight performance and flight behaviour to clarify the functional basis for eco-morphological correlations...

We acknowledge some potential shortcomings in our study. First, a mismatch between site-level conditions and plant traits from secondary data sources is possible, since plant trait values from databases do not necessarily represent adaptations to the local site conditions (e.g., LL, LMA, SSD). ...
appear linked to ecological shifts might be adaptations that occurred subse- quent to the move into novel environments, such as the repeated changes in armament of sticklebacks after moving from marine to fresh water habitats4. In plants, leaf-related traits are often inferred to be key ...
3.3. Leaf Gas Exchanges Pn and gs were similar among the treatments applied at 9–10 mm and 13 mm, allowing combining the data from those trials for each site (Figure 4). The recovery period was evaluated 9 DAS in the 9–10 mm fruit diameter metamitron application and 11 DAS in the ...
