Comprehensive measurement of vegetative traits including specific leaf area, trichome density, water use efficiency, and percent water content from field-collected leaves using scanning, drying, weighing, and photosynthesis measurements.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 27 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Herbivory and water availability interact to shape the adaptive landscape in the perennial forb, Boechera stricta (2025), Evolution. The protocol was originally introduced by The Relationship between Soil Properties and Variation in the Morphology and Phenology of non-native mustard plant <i>Thlaspi arvense</i> in Subalpine Meadows (2018). Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
