Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Global tree biomass allocation generally supports allometric partitioning, with variations explained by optimal partitioning.
- Association Increasing plant size shifts biomass allocation from roots to stems.
- Association Temperature, precipitation and soil properties significantly influence allocation, with distinct patterns in angiosperms and gymnosperms after accounting for allometry.
