leaf_fresh_mass

Label: Leaf fresh mass
Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0011218
Type: numeric
Definition: A leaf mass trait [TO:0000505] which is the mass [PATO:0000125] of a fresh [EnvThes:21976] leaf [PO:0025034], indicating its mass at the time it is picked. For some species the mass of a leaf analogue is reported, possibly a leaflet [PO:0020049], cladode [PO:0025354], or phyllode [PO:0025335].;The fresh 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`. It is most common for leaf fresh mass measurements to include the petiole; the measurement methods should indicate if the petiole is included in or excluded from the leaf fresh mass measurements. A source of variation for this trait will be how leaves are stored and if they are partially rehydrated before weighing; these details should be documented in the methods.
