• Type: numeric
• Definition: A leaf mass trait [TO:0000505] which is the dry [PATO:0001824] mass [PATO:0000125] of a leaf [PO:0025034] or leaf analogue (a leaflet [PO:0020049], cladode [PO:0025354], or phyllode [PO:0025335]).;The oven dry mass of a leaf or leaf analogue (leaflet, cladode, phyllode).
• Additional comments: This trait includes measurements of leaves and leaf analogues, including leaflets, cladodes, and phyllodes. When a measurement is made on a leaf analogue, the tissue measured should be documented as part of the methods or noted as a `context` or under `measurement_remarks`. Leaflet dry mass can alternatively be mapped to the trait `leaflet_dry_mass`. It is most common for leaf dry mass measurements to include the petiole; the measurement methods should indicate if the petiole is included in or excluded from the leaf dry mass measurements.
• units: mg
• allowable range: 0.01 - 15000 mg
