Does greater specific leaf area plasticity help plants to maintain a high performance when shaded?
Although a high SLA per se contributes to biomass homeostasis, there was no evidence that plasticity in SLA contributes to this. Therefore, it is argued that some of the plastic changes that are frequently thought to be adaptive might simply reflect passive responses to the environment, or result as by-products of adaptive plastic responses in other traits.
Because of earlier healing, shorter return to work and lower rates of infection and recurrence, limberg flap is better for PSD.
