Abstract
An index of the productive efficiency of plants calculated, not in relation to total dry weight (like RGR), but in relation to total leaf area. An index of leaf efficiency due to G. E. Briggs and co-workers. ULR is synonomous with net assimilation rate NAR, but the former term is older and better. ULR applies both to plants growing as spaced individuals and to plants growing in closed stands.
