Changes in specific leaf area of dominant plants in temperate grasslands along a 2500-km transect in northern China

Specific leaf area (SLA) is a key trait with great ecological importance as it correlates with whole plant growth. We aimed to investigate how SLA varies with environmental factors at a geographical scale in temperate grasslands. We measured SLA and mass-based leaf nitrogen content (N (mass)) of fou...
