Leaf Traits and Fluctuating Asymmetry as Stress Indicators in a Mangrove Species After an Extreme Rainfall Event

Leaf Traits and Fluctuating Asymmetry as Stress Indicators in a Mangrove Species After an Extreme Rainfall Event

Climate change, particularly extreme rainfall, imposes stress on plants, which can be assessed using fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in leaves and key leaf traits. FA, which is defined as random deviations in symmetrical structures, is a known bioindicator of environmental stress. Additionally, leaf area...
