An allometric model for trees [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2004 This paper presents a general mathematical model for the morphometric description of trees. This model is based on the introduction of fractal theory, and more particularly of the concept of self-similarity, into a statistical physics rationale. Fractal theory provides the necessary tools to describe the complexity of tree structure.

The allometric model in chronic myocardial infarction [PDF]
Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, 2012 Une relation allométrique entre différents paramètres d'électrocardiogramme (ECG) et la masse ventriculaire infarctus a été évaluée dans un modèle d'infarctus du myocarde (IM) chez des lapins néo-zélandais. Au total, quinze animaux ont été utilisés, dont dix ont subi une ligature de l'artère coronaire descendante antérieure gauche pour induire un ...

An allometric model for mapping seed development in plants [PDF]
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2013 Despite a tremendous effort to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for agriculturally and biologically important traits in plants, our understanding of how a QTL governs the developmental process of plant seeds remains elusive. In this article, we address this issue by describing a model for functional mapping of seed development through the

Carbon capture in three land use systems in the Colombian Amazonia
Revista de Ciencias Agrícolas, 2021 The main strategies to combat climate change are reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and increasing carbon sinks in terrestrial ecosystems such as forests, forest plantations, and agroforestry systems.

Carbon Balance and Management, 2020 Background Biomass maps are valuable tools for estimating forest carbon and forest planning. Individual-tree biomass estimates made using allometric equations are the foundation for these maps, yet the potentially-high uncertainty and bias associated ...

Allometric equations for selected Acacia species (Vachellia and Senegalia genera) of Ethiopia
Carbon Balance and Management, 2021 Background Allometric equations are used to estimate biomass and carbon stock of forests. In Ethiopia, despite the presence of large floral diversity, only a few site-specific allometric equations have been developed so far.

A New General Allometric Biomass Model
Nature Precedings, 2011 AbstractTo implement monitoring and assessment of national forest biomass, it is becoming the trend to develop generalized single-tree biomass models suitable for large scale forest biomass estimation. Considering that the theoretical biomass allometric model developed by West et al.

Process-based allometry describes the influence of management on orchard tree aboveground architecture [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 We evaluated allometric relationships in length, diameter, and mass of branches for two variably managed orchard tree species (tart cherry, Prunus cerasus; apple, Malus spp.).
