Abstract
⺠We studied light-dependent variations in leaf traits among 22 woody species. ⺠The 22 species varied greatly in their leaf traits. ⺠Specific leaf area and nitrogen per unit leaf mass had significant intracanopy variation in many species. ⺠Species in the same product-type group tended to show similar leaf traits. ⺠Trait diversity increased with species diversity, protecting ecosystem function.
