Nitrogen allocation to photosynthesis and cell walls versus leaf mass per area (LMA). (A) The proportion of leaf nitrogen in photosynthesis (NP/NL) against LMA (P < 0.020, r = −0.593). (B) Cell wall protein content (PCW) against LMA (P < 0.014, r = 0.616). (C) The ratio of cell wall proteins to total leaf proteins (PCW/PL) against LMA (P < 0.004, r = 0.698). (D) The proportion of leaf nitrogen in cell walls (NCW/NL) against LMA (P = 0.001, r = 0.744). Mean values (n = 5) are given for populations of Ageratina adenophora originating from invasive (China, closed circles and India, closed triangles) and native (Mexico, open circles) ranges.
