The leaves may be glaucous, and when torn from the rosette, leave a purple-red wound. Each leaf measures anywhere from 6–22 cm (2.4–8.7 in) long by 3–7 cm (1.2–2.8 in) wide, with ...
where A is the area of a given leaf or all leaves of a plant, and M L is the dry mass of those leaves. Typical units are m 2 /kg or mm 2 /mg. Leaf mass per area (LMA) is its inverse and can mathematically be decomposed in two component variables, leaf thickness (LTh) and leaf density (LD): [4] = =.
These C-budgets are instructive, but require extensive measurements. A next level of analysis is to measure the growth allocation: what is the increase in total biomass of a plant, and to what extent is the increase due to growth of leaves, of stems and of roots. In young plants, growth allocation is often quite similar to the actual biomass ...
Carex rosea flowers in the spring, and it has evergreen leaves. The styles of this Carex rosea, the stalk connecting the stigma to the ovary, are very distinctively curled, which helps to differentiate this species from other plants. The stigmas range from 0.07 to 0.10 mm thick, while the leaves are almost 1/8 mm wide.
