Terminology of Relative Growth–Rates

Nature, 1941
IT is generally agreed that the study of the rates of growth of parts of organisms in relation to the rates of growth of the wholes or of other parts is one of the most fruitful ways of advancing our knowledge of ontogenetic development. But these biological processes have stable end–results.

Relative growth rates and the grazing optimization hypothesis

Oecologia, 1981
A mathematical analysis of the changes in plant relative growth rates necessary to increase aboveground production following grazing was conducted. The equation derived gives an isoline where production of a grazed and ungrazed plant will be the same. The equation has four variables (mean shoot relative growth rate, change in relative growth rate after

Relative growth rates

Resonance, 2007
If several objects grow with time the one with the highest rate of growth will dominate the rest over time. In this article this is discussed for three cases: when the number of objects is finite, countably infinite and a continuum.

Relative Growth Rates: a Critique

South African Forestry Journal, 1995
SYNOPSIS Forest researchers frequently use mean relative growth rates to compare growth of seedlings that differ in initial size. Reasons for using the technique include: 1) to eliminate any size-related growth differences, and 2) to determine which seedlings are inherently more “efficient.” Although this technique is based on the theory that tree ...

Relative growth rates

1990
Called an ‘efficiency index’ by V. H. Blackman, RGR expresses growth in terms of a rate of increase in size per unit of size. This allows more equitable comparisons than an absolute growth rate. Normally, RGR deals with total dry weight, but other measures of size may be used (see next entry).

Relative growth and nutrient accumulation rates for tobacco

Plant and Soil, 1977
Tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were grown from transplanting until floral expression in the phytotron units of Southeastern Plant Environment Laboratories to evaluate the relationship between relative growth rate (RGR) and relative accumulation rates (RAR) of N, P, K, Ca, and Mg. RAR is calculated to be analogous to RGR.

Growth, relative prices, and exchange rates

Economics Letters, 1982
Abstract Using the framework of the monetary (or asset market) approach to the exchange rate it is demonstrated that if growth alters relative prices the growing country's currency may depreciate rather than appreciate as suggested by Mundell.

The relative rates of secondary and normal grain growth

Acta Metallurgica, 1987
Abstract It is shown that, if uniform grain boundary energy is the only factor affecting boundary motion, an abnormally large grain in a matrix of normal grains does not grow at a higher relative rate than its neighbors.
