Table V
Multiple regression models in which fresh LMA was included as an additional explanatory variable to CCI. The data on the three leaf stages of each species were pooled. The equations convert the CCI and fresh LMA (g m−2) values into the estimated total chlorophyll content per unit area (mg cm−2). The significance values of both parameters (CCI and fresh LMA) are shown.
