Decrease in area of different growth forms and species after two storage methods.

<p>Decrease in leaf area after (A) pressed dry and (B) cold (2°C) storage. Different letters indicate significant differences between species (P≤0.05, n = 250). Growth forms not connected by solid bars are significantly different (P≤0.05). Abbreviations for growth forms are Co - conifer, Fe - fern, Fo - forb, Gr - graminoid, Wo - woody dicot. Abbreviations for species are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0042604#pone-0042604-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. Error bars indicate 1 SE.
