One of the many crazy things about #HoneyLocust trees (like the ones that are regrowing in our backyard) is that they have bipinnate or doubly pinnate leaves, where each leaf is made up of multiple leaflets and those leaflets are made up of multiple leaflets. This whole structure is one single leaf that has fallen.

The variation and plasticity of #LeafMorphology play a pivotal role in the response to #EnvironmentalChanges for plant individuals. Rong Tang et al. investigated #IntraspecificVariation in leaf morphology of three widespread woody species along #ClimaticGradients.
1️⃣ Leaf morphology is influenced by #Climate.
2️⃣ The variation trend of leaves #RelativeWidth during leaf enlargement is influenced by climate.
