      abstract     = {Leaf mass per area (LMA) is a morphological trait widely
                      used as a good indicator of plant functioning (i.e.
                      photosynthetic and respiratory rates, chemical composition,
                      resistance to herbivory, etc.). The LMA can be broken down
                      into the leaf density (LD) and leaf volume to area ratio
                      (LVA or thickness), which in turn are determined by
                      anatomical tissues and chemical composition. The aim of this
                      study is to understand the anatomical and chemical
                      characteristics related to LMA variation in species growing
                      in the field along a water availability gradient. We
                      determined LMA and its components (LD, LVA and anatomical
                      tissues) for 34 Mediterranean (20 evergreen and 14
                      deciduous) woody species. Variation in LMA was due to
                      variation in both LD and LVA. For both deciduous and
                      evergreen species LVA variation was strongly and positively
                      related with mesophyll volume per area (VA or thickness),
                      but for evergreen species positive relationships of LVA with
                      the VA of epidermis, vascular plus sclerenchyma tissues and
                      air spaces were found as well. The leaf carbon concentration
                      was positively related with mesophyll VA in deciduous
                      species, and with VA of vascular plus sclerenchymatic
                      tissues in evergreens. Species occurring at the sites with
                      lower water availability were generally characterised by a
                      high LMA and LD.},
