Predicting Maximum Tree Heights and Other Traits from Allometric Scaling and Resource Limitations
Terrestrial vegetation plays a central role in regulating the carbon and water cycles, and adjusting planetary albedo. As such, a clear understanding and accurate characterization of vegetation dynamics is critical to understanding and modeling the broader climate system. Maximum tree height is an i...
