Table 3 Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the effects of climatic (Mudangjiang; Bozhou), life form (Tree; Shrub; Vine), and their significant interaction to plant morphological traits and physiological traits in China. Abbreviations: LT: Leaf thickness; LA: Leaf area; LDMC: Leaf dry matter content; RWC: Leaf relative water content; SLA: Specific leaf area; SD: Stomatal density; VD: Leaf vein density; Chla: Chlorophyll a; Chlb: Chlorophyll b; Car: Carotinoid; Chl: Chlorophyll

From: Adaptation strategies of leaf traits and leaf economic spectrum of two urban garden plants in China
