The physiological importance of small leaf sizes in the mediterranean type ecosystem vegetation of the Cape floristic region
Numerous "Fynbos" species of the Cape Floristic Region (CFR) have particularly fine, narrow leaves. The rates of transpiration and heat loss are partially dependent on boundary layer conductance, which is determined by leaf shape and size, surface modifications and wind speed. We expected fine-leave...
