I am interested in understanding the relationship between leaf area index for different tree species and tree age (i.e. over the years).

I am currently working on quantifying the stormwater benefits of trees. Many of my calculations are dependent on the Leaf Area Index, which will estimate the amount of precipitation intercepted by a tree’s canopy. For modelling a single storm event, the average LAI of a mature tree will be used. However, if a user were to run multi-year scenarios, I want to know how much the LAI of a certain tree species will vary.

Hence, I'm conducting a literature research on understanding the relationship between LAI and tree age. I understand the canopy size and leaf density will vary due to many environmental conditions over a tree's lifetime (water/nutrient availability, climate, etc.), but are there articles or other resources that specifically address LAI of different tree species varying with tree age?
