Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation The four commercial tree species differed markedly in leaf emergence rate, internode elongation and resource allocation.
- Observation T. superba exhibited faster height and diameter growth than P. macrocarpa and M. altissima.
- Observation T. ivorensis exhibited faster height and diameter growth than P. macrocarpa and M. altissima.
- Observation M. altissima invested proportionally more biomass in foliage than T. superba and T. ivorensis.
- Observation The contrasting growth patterns reflect distinct adaptive strategies influencing productivity and ecological resilience.
