Large differences in leaf cuticle conductance and its temperature response among 24 tropical tree species from across a rainfall gradient.

Across species, g min tended to decrease with increasing LMA but although this trend was consistent, it was only significant for g min at 35°C ( F 1,21 = 6.6, P = 0.0178, R 2 = 0.23) and marginally significant ( P < 0.1) at 32 and 40°C (Fig. 5 ). g min did not scale with leaf dry matter content or stomatal density at any temperature (data not shown).
