Features and allometric relationships characterising trees on farmland – an example from Chainpur VDC, Chitwan

An allometric model for trees.

This paper presents a general mathematical model for the morphometric description of trees. This model is based on the introduction of fractal theory, and more particularly of the concept of self-similarity, into a statistical physics rationale. Fractal theory provides the necessary tools to describe the complexity of tree structure. Statistics, when applied to physics, makes it possible to exp...

Effects of Herbivory on Plant and Soil Characteristics; Allometric Relationships Change among Different Grazing Sites

Allometric prediction of locomotor performance: an example from Southeast Asian flying lizards.

Allometric scaling analysis is the standard paradigm for studies attempting to unravel the consequences of evolutionary size change (Huxley 1932; Gould 1966; SchmidtNielsen 1984). Although the value of this approach is clear, prediction of the allometry of performance is often hamstrung by the complexity of biological systems. This complexity derives from the heterogeneous interaction of physio...
