      abstract     = {The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of
                      intercorrelated leaf traits concerning construction costs
                      per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of
                      carbon fixation and tissue turnover. Although broad
                      trade-offs among leaf structural and physiological traits
                      have been demonstrated, we still do not have a comprehensive
                      view of the fundamental constraints underlying the LES
                      trade-offs. Here, we investigated physiological and
                      structural mechanisms underpinning the LES by analysing a
                      novel data compilation incorporating rarely considered
                      traits such as the dry mass fraction in cell walls, nitrogen
                      allocation, mesophyll CO2 diffusion and associated
                      anatomical traits for hundreds of species covering major
                      growth forms. The analysis demonstrates that cell wall
                      constituents are major components of leaf dry mass
                      $(18–70\%),$ especially in leaves with high leaf mass per
                      unit area (LMA) and long lifespan. A greater fraction of
                      leaf mass in cell walls is typically associated with a lower
                      fraction of leaf nitrogen (N) invested in photosynthetic
                      proteins; and lower within-leaf CO2 diffusion rates, as a
                      result of thicker mesophyll cell walls. The costs associated
                      with greater investments in cell walls underpin the LES:
                      long leaf lifespans are achieved via higher LMA and in turn
                      by higher cell wall mass fraction, but this inevitably
                      reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis.},
