How liana loads alter tree allometry in tropical forests [PDF]
Plant Ecology, 2016 Intense competition with lianas (wood climbers) can limit tree growth, reproduction, and survival. However, the negative effects of liana loads on tree allometry have not yet been addressed. We investigated the hypothesis that liana loading on tree crown alters tree’s allometry, expressed through slenderness (height–diameter ratio).

Tree height–diameter allometry across the United States [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2015 AbstractThe relationship between tree height and diameter is fundamental in determining community and ecosystem structure as well as estimates of biomass and carbon storage. Yet our understanding of how tree allometry relates to climate and whole organismal function is limited.

Estimating the Allometry of Tree Bark
American Midland Naturalist, 1995-The allometry of bark thickness was estimated both from thickness data taken with a bark gauge only on ridges and from cross-sectional area data based on a contour of the outside bark-surface, together with an estimate of the inside bark-boundary. Three alternatives of the contour method are presented; they differ in how the outside bark-contour is ...

The allometry of the weight of fruit on trees and shrubs in Barbados
Oecologia, 1988Branch sampling of branch diameter and fruit crop on 22 species of Barbadian trees and shrubs provided sufficient data to build regressions between plant size and fruit crop weight. Orchard plants bear much more fruit than wild, feral or garden plants of similar size, but this difference disappears in multiple regression of fruit crop weight (F in g ...

Linking stand-level self-thinning allometry to the tree-level leaf biomass allometry
Trees - Structure and Function, 2008Long-term experimental plots of Norway spruce and European beech are investigated for a link between stand-level self-thinning and tree-level leaf biomass allometry. Self-thinning refers to the finding of Reineke (1933), who postulated for unthinned forest stands that $$ N = bd_q^

Tree allometries reflect a lifetime of herbivory in an African savanna
Ecology, 2011Theories of plant allometry provide a general description of allometric scaling that is supposedly applicable across a wide array of environmental conditions. Scaling theories, however, ignore disturbances such as herbivory in their derivation. Here we examine the influence of herbivores on the scaling of height and diameter of two common African ...

Allometry and life history of tropical trees
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1996ABSTRACTThe scaling of crown size and trunk diameter with tree height (allometry) was determined for 14 common species of the tropical wet lowland forest at La Selva, Costa Rica. The study showed that allometric differences between species are related to adult size, regeneration niche (gap vs.

Abstract Utilizing terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and three-dimensional modeling, this study quantitatively assessed the woody surface areas of 2161 trees across ecosystems encompassing both tropical and temperate forests. TLS enables precise measurement of tree structures at unprecedented scales.

Allometry of Saplings and Understorey Trees of a Panamanian Forest
Functional Ecology, 1990The dimensional relationships (allometry) of understorey trees were contrasted with those of saplings of subcanopy-canopy trees in a humid tropical forest in Panama. The six selected species were all common, shade-tolerant trees of primary forest and were sampled in shaded ...
