Schrodt, Franziska; null, Tomas; Feldpausch, Ted R.; Saiz, Gustavo; Quesada, Carlos Alberto; Schwarz, Michael; Ishida, Francoise Yoko; Compaoré, HalidouVariations in leaf mass per unit area (Ma) and foliar concentrations of N, P, C, K, Mg and Ca were determined for 365 trees growing in 23 plots along a West African precipitation gradient ranging from 0.29 to 1.62m a-1. Contrary to previous studies, no marked increase in Ma with declining precipitation was observed, but savanna tree foliar [N] tended to be higher at the drier sites (mass basis). Generally, Ma w...
