The leaf area-to-sapwood area ratio (LA:SA) is a key plant trait that links photosynthesis to transpiration. The pipe model theory states that the sapwood cross-sectional area of a stem or branch at any point should scale isometrically with the area of leaves distal to that point. Optimization theory further suggests that LA:SA should decrease toward drier climates. Although acclimation of LA:SA to climate has been reported within species, much less is known about the scaling of this trait with climate among species. 2. We compiled LA:SA measurements from 184 species of Australian evergreen angiosperm trees. The pipe model was broadly confirmed, based on measurements on branches and trunks of trees from one to 27 years old. Despite considerable scatter in LA:SA among species, quantile regression showed strong (0.2 < R1 < 0.65) positive relationships between two climatic moisture indices and the lowermost (5%) and uppermost (5–15%) quantiles of log LA:SA, suggesting that moisture availability constrains the envelope of minimum and maximum values of LA:SA typical for any given climate. 3. Interspecific differences in plant hydraulic conductivity are probably responsible for the large scatter of values in the mid-quantile range and may be an important determinant of tree morphology.,Supplementary information 1_LA_SA Togashi datasetHuber Value dataset for 183 evergreen angiosperm trees in Australia,&rft.creator=Togashi, Henrique Furstenau &rft.creator=Prentice, Ian Colin &rft.creator=Evans, Bradley John &rft.creator=Forrester, David Ian &rft.creator=Drake, Paul &rft.creator=Feikema, Paul &rft.creator=Brooksbank, Kim &rft.creator=Eamus, Derek &rft.creator=Taylor, Daniel &rft.creator=Prentice, Iain Colin &rft.date=2015&rft.relation=http://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/publications/2c512995-cbc8-4f98-b22d-0876dccdf4b5&rft_subject=Eucalyptus regnans&rft_subject=Pultenea flexilis&rft_subject=Hakea teretifolia&rft_subject=Eremophila longifolia&rft_subject=Calamus australis&rft_subject=Lomatia silaifolia&rft_subject=Boronia pinnata&rft_subject=Eucalyptus sclerophylla&rft_subject=Alstonia muelleriana&rft_subject=Eucalyptus socialis&rft_subject=Pimelea microcephala&rft_subject=sapwood area&rft_subject=Leptospermum rupestre&rft_subject=Aegiceras corniculatum&rft_subject=tree morphology&rft_subject=Acacia colletioides&rft_subject=Cryptocarya mackinnoniana&rft_subject=Eucalyptus crebra&rft_subject=Calamus caryotoides&rft_subject=Banksia littoralis&rft_subject=Eremophila glabra&rft_subject=Eucalyptus intertexta&rft_subject=Persoonia linearis&rft_subject=Ceratopelatum sucirubrum&rft_subject=Richea scoparium&rft_subject=Eucalyptus haemostoma&rft_subject=Olearia pimelioides&rft_subject=Acacia mearnsii&rft_subject=Bertya cunninghamii&rft_subject=Acacia myrtifolia&rft_subject=Eucalyptus polybractea&rft_subject=Eucalyptus delegatensis&rft_subject=Geijera parviflora&rft_subject=Philotheca difformis&rft_subject=Leucopogon esquamatus&rft_subject=Angophora costata&rft_subject=Holocene&rft_subject=climatic moisture&rft_subject=Avicennia marina&rft_subject=Isopogon anemonifolius&rft_subject=Persoonia levis&rft_subject=Eucalyptus occidentalis&rft_subject=Leucopogon microphyllus&rft_subject=Argyrodendron trifoliolatum&rft_subject=Eucalyptus miniata and Eucalyptus tetrodonta&rft_subject=Castanospora alphandii&rft_subject=Doryphora aromatica&rft_subject=Dillwynia retorta&rft_subject=Corymbia gummifera&rft_subject=Eucalyptus miniata&rft_subject=Acacia floribunda&rft_subject=Nothofagus cunninghamii&rft_subject=Pultenaea stipularis&rft_subject=Acacia suaveolens&rft_subject=Angophora hispida&rft_subject=Syncarpia glomulifera&rft_subject=Callitris glaucophylla&rft_subject=Eucalyptus tetrodonta&rft_subject=Diselma archeri&rft_subject=Alphitonia whitei&rft_subject=Eucalyptus sieberi&rft_subject=Brachychiton australis&rft_subject=Hakea tephrosperma&rft_subject=Melaleuca uncinata&rft_subject=Astrotricha floccosa&rft_subject=pipe model&rft_subject=Phyllanthus hirtellus&rft_subject=Doryphora sassafras&rft_subject=Leptospermum trinervium&rft_subject=plant hydraulics&rft_subject=Beyeria opaca&rft_subject=Glochidion ferdinandi&rft_subject=Acacia wilhelmiana&rft_subject=Tasmannia lanceolata&rft_subject=Santalum acuminatum&rft_subject=Brachychiton populneus&rft_subject=Epacris pulchella&rft_subject=Eucalyptus loxophleba&rft_subject=Acacia doratoxylon&rft_subject=Argyrodedron trifoliolatum&rft_subject=Eucalyptus nitens&rft_subject=Banksia integrifolia&rft_subject=Eriostemon australasius&rft_subject=Pinus radiata&rft_subject=Cassinia laevis&rft_subject=Eucalyptus maculata&rft_subject=Flindersia brayleyana&rft_subject=Micrantheum ericoides&rft_subject=Acacia dealbata&rft_subject=Dodonaea viscosa&rft_subject=Angophora bakeri&rft_subject=Banksia attenuata&rft_subject=Grevillea speciosa&rft_subject=Corymbia opaca&rft_subject=Gompholobium glabratum&rft_subject=Syzygium johnsonii&rft_subject=Eremophila deserti&rft_subject=Eucalyptus marginata&rft_subject=Angophora hispida;

The pipe model theory states that the sapwood cross-sectional area of a stem or branch at any point should scale isometrically with the area of leaves distal to that point. Optimization theory further suggests that LA:SA should decrease toward drier climates. Although acclimation of LA:SA to climate has been reported within species, much less is known about the scaling of this trait with climate among species. 2. We compiled LA:SA measurements from 184 species of Australian evergreen angiosperm trees. The pipe model was broadly confirmed, based on measurements on branches and trunks of trees from one to 27 years old.
