Fig. 3: The bivariate relationships with leaf life span.

From: Global patterns of the leaf economics spectrum in wetlands

Fig. 3

a Leaf life span vs. leaf nitrogen (leaf N). b Leaf life span vs. leaf phosphorus (leaf P). c Leaf life span vs. leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA). d Leaf life span vs. photosynthetic rate (Amass). e Leaf life span vs. dark respiration rate (Rmass). The waterlogged and submerged wetland plants are shown in light blue squares and dark blue triangles, respectively. The non-wetland plant data from GLOPNET3 are shown in red circles with a solid red line. The dashed light blue line with the notation of *ele. identifies significant elevation differences among parallel slopes respectively. Note that graph axes are log10 scaled and the absence of leaf life span data coupled to LMA, Amass, or Rmass for submerged plants.
