- Association Foliage biomass and new branch biomass of understory plants were isometric.
- Association Old branch biomass and large root biomass of understory plants were isometric.
- Association Aboveground and belowground biomass of understory plants were isometric.
- Association The power of new branch biomass scaling old branch biomass was 0.585-0.700, nearly 0.67.
- Association Foliage biomass scaled the branch biomass with a power of 0.742-0.795, nearly 0.75.
- Association Foliage biomass scaled the root biomass with a power of 0.853-0.918, nearly 0.86.
- Association Small root biomass scaled large root biomass with a power of 0.658-0.750.
- Observation Foliage biomass proportion of understory plants was 5.83%-20.60%.
- Observation New branch biomass proportion of understory plants was 0.83%-7.42%.
- Observation Old branch biomass proportion of understory plants was 36.25%-68.24%.
- Observation Small root biomass proportion of understory plants was 1.32%-6.75%.
- Observation Large root biomass proportion of understory plants was 16.38%-42.88%.
- Observation The root/shoot ratio of understory plants was 0.272-0.866.
- Association Plant biomass allocation partitioning of understory plants varied with plant species and plant size.
- Association Biomass allocation of foliage, new branch and small root and the root/shoot ratio of understory plants decreased significantly with plant growth.
- Association The proportion of old branch biomass in understory plant biomass increased significantly with plant growth.
- Association For only a few understory plants, large root biomass allocation did not vary significantly.
