Other claims from this paper (4)
- Method / resource Segment ordering gave better fits for simple scaling with size.
- Observation Scaling patterns varied by developmental versus functional order and size metric.
- Method / resource Functional link ordering showed nonlinear scaling with link counts.
- Method / resource The simulated functional link-based metric may characterize root architecture more powerfully than single indices.
