Leaf Serration in Seedlings of Heteroblastic Woody Species Enhance Plasticity and Performance in Gaps But Not in the Understory

Figure 3

Changes in plant height (a), number of branches (b), Total leaf area (c), and total dry mass (d) for homoblastic (□) and heteroblastic (■) Hoheria and Aristotelia species in canopy gap and forest understory sites. Bars indicate ± standard error of the mean. Means marked by different letter are significantly different at level within a genus in gap or understory site.
