          Abstract

          A área foliar específica e as características anatômicas foliares da braquiária (Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk) e do amendoim-forrageiro (Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo) foram avaliadas em resposta a níveis de sombreamento artificial (0, 50 e 70%), com o objetivo de se determinar a aclimatação destas forrageiras às modificações no ambiente luminoso. Utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos completamente casualizados, com três repetições. Foram realizados três e dois cortes, respectivamente, para avaliação das plantas de braquiária e amendoim-forrageiro. A área foliar específica das duas espécies aumentou linearmente em função do incremento nos níveis de sombra. Na braquiária, o aumento da área foliar específica foi acompanhado por redução linear na espessura da folha, com os níveis crescentes de sombra. Já a espessura das folhas de amendoim-forrageiro não sofreu alteração significativa com o sombreamento crescente. A densidade estomática nas faces adaxial e abaxial das folhas do amendoim-forrageiro e da braquiária diminuiu linearmente com o incremento nos níveis de sombra. Apesar do aumento na proporção de espaços intercelulares nas folhas de amendoim-forrageiro, a área ocupada pelos diferentes tecidos não foi afetada significativamente pelos níveis de sombra. As folhas de braquiária apresentaram aumento quadrático na área ocupada pela bainha do feixe vascular, no primeiro corte. A área ocupada pelos feixes vasculares e pelas células buliformes foi reduzida no segundo e terceiro cortes, respectivamente, com o sombreamento crescente. As espécies estudadas apresentaram boa aclimatação às variações na intensidade luminosa, e são boas alternativas para utilização em ambientes com baixos níveis de irradiância.

          Specific leaf area and leaf anatomy traits of signalgrass (Brachiaria decumbens cv. Basilisk) and forage peanut (Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo) were evaluated in response to levels of artificial shades (0, 50 and 70%) with the objective of determining the acclimation of these forage species to changes in the luminous environment. It was used a complete random block design, with three replicates. Three and two harvests were performed for evaluation of signalgrass and forage peanut, respectively. Specific leaf blade of the two species increased linearly as a function of the increasing levels of shading. In signalgrass, the increase on specific leaf area was followed by a linear reduction in leaf thickness, with the increasing levels of shade. On the other hand, forage peanut leaf thickness was not significantly altered by shade. Stomatal density on adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces decreased linearly with the increase on levels of shade. In spite of increase of the proportion on intercellular spaces in forage peanut leaves, the area occupied by different tissues was not significantly affected by shade levels. Signal grass leaves presented a quadratic increase in the area occupied by the vascular bundle sheath in the first harvest. The area occupied by vascular bundle and by bulliform cells was reduced in the second and third harvest, respectively, with the increasing shade. The forage species evaluated showed a good acclimation to variations on light intensities, and they are good alternatives to use in environments with low solar radiation levels

            Leaf specific mass confounds leaf density and thickness.

            We explored the relationship between leaf specific mass (LSM) and its two components, leaf density and thickness. These were assessed on the leaves of (a) the moderately sclerophyllous tree Arbutus menziesii distributed along a natural nutrient/moisture gradient in California, (b) eight sclerophyllous shrub species on four substrates in south-western Australia, and (c) seedlings of two morphologically contrasting Hakea species grown under varying soil nutrient, moisture and light regimes in a glasshouse experiment. Leaf area, mass, LSM, density and thickness varied greatly between leaves on the same plant, different species, and with different nutrient, moisture and light regimes. In some cases, variations in LSM were due to changes in leaf density in particular or thickness or both, while in others, density and thickness varied without a net effect on LSM. At lower nutrient or moisture availabilities or at higher light irradiances, leaves tended to be smaller, with higher LSM, density and thickness. Under increased stress, the thickness (diameter) of needle leaves decreased despite an increase in LSM. We concluded that, while LSM is a useful measure of sclerophylly, its separation into leaf density and thickness may be more appropriate as they often vary independently and appear to be more responsive to environmental gradients than LSM.
