Weanalyzethisproblembasedonbiology.Wetaketheinfluenceofwindintoconsiderationinadditiontothosefourfactorsabove.Especiallyforthosehugetrees,spatialdistributionwouldinfluencetheleafshape,namelytheanswertothisquestionispositive.Becauseofthecomplexityofgeneticmutation,wesolvethisproblembasedonenvironmentandauxinwithoutregardtogenemutation.Weusetheimpactofwindinsteadofenvironmentalinfluence.
