Experimental data on the adsorption of water by branches and leaves as affected by different the morphological characteristics of plants

We determined 116 globally important woody tree species, classified them based on the differences between plant life-forms, leaf textures and trichomes leaves measured indices of some morphological traits in Guizhou karstic regions China. The water adsorbed upper surfaces branches lower (WW u WW ul ) these species was measured. ratios weight to (RWW were calculated. adsorption trait follow approximately normal distributions. (weight), total area (TLA) mean (MLA) significantly impacted by leaves. different rates for can explain interspecific variation rainfall interception.
