Intraspecific variation in spring leaf phenology and duration of leaf expansion in relation to leaf habit and leaf size of temperate tree species
Spring leaf phenology has been intensively studied in temperate deciduous broad-leaved tree species, but the phenology of evergreen broad-leaved tree species has seldom been focused on. Evaluation of the diffe...
