Abstract

In the present study, the variation of key leaf characteristics, such as SLA and
LMA in plant samples collected from four locations were determined using a
Li-Cor portable leaf area measuring device. The effect of seasonal, altitudinal
and climatic variations on SLA and LMA was evaluated. There were
significant differences (P<0.01) in SLA and LMA values in terms of localities,
months, temperature and precipitation. There were both elevation and seasonal
variables in SLA and LMA values. The highest SLA and LMA values were in
May and December, respectively. SLA and LMA values increased and
decreased with increasing elevation, respectively. SLA and LMA of Diospyros
kaki were related with temperature and precipitation. Results indicated that
there were variations on SLA and LMA parameters due to ecological factors.

Keywords

SLA, LMA, Altitude, Diospyros kaki L.
