Discussion (4 main conclusions (Leaf size doesnt change with trait, but…

- - - - at least wright
      - what is an functional leaf
        
        leaf as organ
        
        leaf as functional structure
        
        effective leaf width
        
        Larger leaves have a thicker boundary layer that slows sensible heat exchange with the surrounding air, meaning that—all else equal—they develop larger leaf-to-air temperature differences than that of smaller leaves (9, 10).
  - - - no relationship with temperature
    - - leaves can respond to temperature in different ways
        
        small leaves loose less water
        
        if loosing water is not a problem, better to adapt to resist to heat
        
        large leaves are more resistant to heat
      - LMA can be integrated to this discussion also
        
        high LMA can be produced by
        
        leaves with high mass
        
        high venation density make high mass
        
        thick leaves
        
        thick leaves are more resistant to heat
