Paper Summary

Leaf traits change as you move from tropical to temperate forests. Leaves get lighter and thinner, with more pores at higher latitudes. Climate and nutrients affect these changes. Leaf size is related to weight, thickness to cell structure, and pore size to density. These adaptations help leaves survive in different environments.
