Allometric biomass allocation theory predicts that leaf biomass (M L ) scaled isometrically with stem (M S ) and root (M R ) biomass, and thus above-ground biomass (leaf and stem) (M A ) and root (M R ) scaled nearly isometrically with below-ground biomass (root) for tree seedlings across a wide diversity of taxa. Furthermore, prior studies also imply that scaling constant should vary with spec...

The scaling effect correction of retrieved parameters is an essential and difficult issue in analysis and application of remote sensing information. Based on fractal theory, this paper developed a scaling transfer model to correct the scaling effect of the leaf area index (LAI) estimated from coarse spatial resolution image. As the key parameter of the proposed model, the information fractal di...

The Taylor power law (or temporal fluctuation scaling), is a scaling relationship of the form σ ∼ 〈P 〉 where σ is the standard deviation and 〈P 〉 the mean value of a sample of a time series has been observed for power output data sampled at 5 min and 1 s and from five wind farms and a single wind turbine, located at different places. Furthermore, an analogy with the turbulence field is performe...

The spatio-temporal scaling relationship for individual channels in braided streams is shown to be identical to the spatiotemporal scaling associated with constant Froude number, e.g. FrZ1. A means to derive this relationship is developed from a new theory of sediment transport. The mechanism by which the FrZ1 condition apparently governs the scaling seems to derive from the sensitivity of sedi...

The relationship between the scaling properties of faulted geological surfaces and parameters describing the underlying fault population are investigated using simulations of a dip-slip faulted surface. Analysis of multiple simulations of sections through the surface allowed the construction of a statistical relationship between the parameters defining the fault population and the fractal dimen...

In this paper we study the relationship between the Euclidean and the discrete world thru two operations based on the Euclidean scaling function: the discrete smooth scaling and the discrete based geometrical simplification.

The scaling of body parts is a central feature of animal morphology. Within species, morphological traits need to be correctly proportioned to the body for the organism to function; larger individuals typically have larger body parts and smaller individuals generally have smaller body parts, such that overall body shape is maintained across a range of adult body sizes. The requirement for corre...
