- Statement
- 1) Sampling Method: Leaves sampled from the Great Western Woodlands flux station on Credo Station, 110 km NNW of Kalgoorlie, WA. Leaf morphological measurements were taken on ten mature leaves per tree, obtained from the mid-outer canopy from three branches distributed around the canopy perimeter. Leaves were dried at 55°C, weighed, and lamina thickness measured with a micrometer (Digimatic; Mitutoyo, Japan). Leaves were then imaged with a flatbed scanner, and the area of each leaf was determined in Matlab (MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA). Specific leaf area (SLA) and average tissue density were calculated from the dry mass, thickness and area measurements. The individual leaf data were averaged to give a single value of each trait for each tree.<br></br> 2) Chemical analysis: Five to six leaves per tree were pooled for carbon stable isotope and nitrogen content measurements. Cellulose<sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C ratio is used as an indicator of intrinsic water use efficiency; RuBisCO preferentially utilizes <sup>12</sup>CO<sup>2</sup>, but as stomatal conductance decreases to reduce water loss, CO<sub>2</sub> within the leaf tissues becomes limiting, forcing increased fixation of <sup>13</sup>CO<sub>2</sub>. A higher (less negative) <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C value therefore reflects greater intrinsic water use efficiency during the period when the carbon was fixed. Leaf nitrogen content is strongly related to photosynthetic capacity, since photosynthetic apparatus comprises the majority of leaf nitrogen. A strip was cut from each leaf across the centre of the blade, including the mid-vein, and ground to a fine powder in a ball mill. Crude cellulose was extracted from the ground leaf material using a modified acid-diglyme procedure. The <sup>13</sup>C/<sup>12</sup>C ratio of the cellulose samples, and the total carbon and nitrogen content of the bulk leaf material, were measured in an isotope ratio mass spectrometer. The <sup>13</sup>C content is reported in parts per thousand (‰), as delta values relative to the Vienna PeeDee Belemnite international standard. The size of each sampled tree was measured. The circumference of all stems were measured at 1.2 m height with a tape measure, and the stem cross sectional area calculated for each tree (assuming stem circularity). Height was determined from the ground by estimating the number of 2 m increments from the base to the top of the tree from a distance of approximately 10 m.
