Patterns of biomass allocation between foliage and woody structure: the effects of tree size and specific functional traits

Patterns of biomass allocation between foliage and woody structure: the effects of tree size and specific functional traits

<p>Biomass allocation is closely related to species traits, resources availability and competitive abilities, and therefore it is often used to capture resource utilisation within plants. In this study, we searched for patterns in biomass allocation between foliage and wood (stem plus branch),...
