Carbon cost-benefit theory indicates that leaf photosynthesis benefit and structure cost have scaling relationship. However, this relationship has not been tested in the perennial cold-wet regions. Shorter growing seasons in cold-wet climates severely limit plant growth, making it important to explore the light interception and economic strategies for the survival of plants in this region. We measured leaf area (LA), leaf fresh mass (LFM) and leaf dry mass (LDM) of 19 Syringa species around Xi’ning city to explore leaf scaling relationship and adaptation strategies. Our results showed that LA, LFM and LDM varied among species, with the coefficients of variation (CV) among species being 64.61%, 76.43% and 65.94%, respectively. For all species, LDM with LFM and LA showed isometric growth, and only LA and LFM followed allometric growth with a scaling exponent greater than 1 (p |
