- Label: Leaf specific work to punch
- Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0014012
- Type: numeric
- Definition: A leaf lamina [PO:0025060] strength [PATO:0001230] trait which is a measure of a leaf's [PO:0025034] compressive strength [SWEET:propPressure/CompressiveStrength; MESH:D019245]. It is the force [PATO:0001035] (work) required to punch a hole in a leaf lamina (fracture [SWEET:phenSolid/Fracture]) with a punch and die, scaled by leaf thickness [PATO:0000915].;The force (work) required to punch a hole through a leaf lamina, generally with a punch and die, adjusted for leaf thickness. This is a measure of leaf compressive strength or toughness.
- Additional comments: Variation in methods used will mean that, in some cases, values are not perfectly comparable across studies. The expected units for this trait are listed as N/m2, which is identical to J/m3; Newtons are a unit of force, while Joules are a unit of work, indicating how much work (force per distance) is done when force is applied.
- units: N/m2
- allowable range: 1000 - 30000000 N/m2
