abstract = {Leaf dry mass per unit leaf area (LMA) is a central trait
in ecology, but its anatomical and compositional basis has
been unclear. An explicit mathematical and physical
framework for quantifying the cell and tissue determinants
of LMA will enable tests of their influence on species,
communities and ecosystems. We present an approach to
explaining LMA from the numbers, dimensions and mass
densities of leaf cells and tissues, which provided
unprecedented explanatory power for 11 broadleaved woody
angiosperm species diverse in LMA (33–262 g m−2; R2 =
0.94; P < 0.001). Across these diverse species, and in a
larger comparison of evergreen vs. deciduous angiosperms,
high LMA resulted principally from larger cell sizes,
greater major vein allocation, greater numbers of mesophyll
cell layers and higher cell mass densities. This explicit
approach enables relating leaf anatomy and composition to a
wide range of processes in physiological, evolutionary,
community and macroecology.},
