#' Leaf mass per area and photosynthetic rate for plant species from different
#' sites
#' 
#' @description This dataset contains the leaf mass per area (LMA) and photosynthetic rate
#' per meaf mass (Amass) of individual plants from 81 plant species at four
#' sites in south-eastern Australia. Sites represent contrasts along rainfall
#' and soil phosphorous gradients.
