  		Fig. 1. Observed values of individual leaf area compared with those estimated from the bell-shaped function. For each individual leaf, its area (LAn) was estimated as LAn = LAo x exp[0.04019 x (xn – 12)2 + 0.00015 x (xn – 12)]3, where LAo was the area of the largest leaf and xn was the leaf position of the nth leaf.
