The paper titled 'Leaf morphology shift: new data and analysis support climate link' is following on from a previous paper written by Dr Guerin, Haixia Wen and Professor Lowe (') where the researchers concluded that climate change is changing the width of leaves.
This new research uses alternative data splits and statistical methods to re-test their original findings, including an extra 10 years' worth of new data on leaf width from extra specimens collected up to 2011.
