Dear Colleagues - I am looking for advice on preserving leaves for tissue nutrient analysis. I will be in somewhat remote areas in Patagonian temperate rainforest and will need to preserve and transport the leaves for up to 3 weeks before they reach a lab. I don't anticipate being able to keep leaves cold or having access to a drying oven, though I may have access to ordinary cooking ovens. The leaves are mostly from evergreen trees. I'd appreciate hearing your experiences doing this (what worked and didn't work), and would be happy to summarize for the list.
