Scaling relations for a functionally two-dimensional plant: Chamaesyce setiloba (Euphorbiaceae)
2009
American Journal of Botany
Many characteristics of plants and animals scale with body size as described by allometric equations of the form Y = β M α , where Y is an attribute of the organism, β is a coeffi cient that varies with attribute, M is a measure of organism size, and α is another constant, the scaling exponent. In current models, the frequently observed quarter-power scaling exponents are hypothesized to be due to fractal-like structures. However, not all plants or animals conform to the assumptions of these
