Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Croton pullei shifts from a juvenile free-standing to an older supported growth phase.
- Observation Free-standing plants maintain nearly constant structural Young’s and torsional moduli during ontogeny.
- Association In free-standing plants, flexural stiffness increases proportionally with axial second moment of area.
- Observation Supported plants show a decrease in structural torsional modulus.
- Association In supported plants, flexural stiffness does not increase proportionally with axial second moment of area.
- Observation All supported plants transition from dense wood to wood with more large diameter vessels.
- Observation All tested free-standing plants have only dense wood.
