Summary
Leaf mass per area and lignin content were consistently lower in the bleached area than in the nonbleached area of the same leaves, indicating that the selective decomposition of acid unhydrolyzable residue (recalcitrant compounds such asLignin, tannins, and cutins) enhanced the mass loss of leaf tissues in theBleached portions.
