摘要: The adaptive significance of leaf life spans has been examined from several different points view. Evergreenness explained in terms nutrient conservation (86), improving carbon balance (90), and as a general adaptation to environmental stress (47). In this review, we consider these theories attempt synthesize divergent viewpoints. We the question "How is length leaf's span related factors?" particular, what are comparative advantages evergreen deciduous habits how can differences be distributional patterns climatic gradients?
