The plants were grown in 120 cm long tubes in Evora, Portugal and growth of sheltered and control plants was evaluated based upon measurements of height, branch lenght, number and area of leaves and biomass. Additionally the anatomy and morphology and heat tolerance of leaves of sheltered andcontrolplants was studied. The results sbow that prowth in beight was stimulated by shelters. The amount of branches was greater in seedlings with shelters seedlings in shelters B were not significant. The shootíroot ratio was higher in sheltered plants than in controls because of the above-ground biomass increased in the former whereas root biomass remained unchanged. Foliage developed inside the shelters showed characteristics of acclimation to shade and were less tolerant to heat being killed at lower temperatures than those of unsheltered controls.

The length of guard cells is higher in the proximal position of middle and superior stratra than in the inferior stratum. The dry weight.area-I does not vary significantly between two types of leaves. The trees belong to an open stand where shading among trees is minimal. However, the dry weight.area- ratio of leaves of plot with traditional agriculture is significantly higher than that of leaves of the plot with pasture probably as a consequence of the depletion of soil nitrogen caused by agriculture.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
