carbon sequestration into plants biomass, especially in fast growing trees is an easier and economically way for dropping off co2 from atmosphere. this study was carried out in order to investigate above-ground biomass of white poplar (populous alba, l.) plantations that was planted in fourdifferent plant spacing (0.5 × 0.5, 1×1, 2×2 and 4×4 m.) in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province in west of ...

The allometric 3/4 power relation, initially used for describing the relation between mammalian basal metabolic rate and body size, is often used as a general model for organismal design. The use of allometric regression as a model has important limitations: it is not mechanistic, it combines all physiological variables into one correlate of body size, and it combines data from several physiolo...

this research develops an allometric model for estimation of biomass based on the height and dbh of trees in the hyrcanian forests of iran. an accurate allometric model reduces the uncertainty of allometric equation in biomass estimation using radar images. in this study, 317 trees were selected randomly from the 4 different dominant tree species for the development of an allometric model cover...

The ponderal growth of the larynx was studied in human fetal period between the 9th and 38th weeks post-conception (w.p.c.). The larynx weight (in grams - g) was related with body weight (in grams -g) using the allometric equation Y= ax(b). Our results indicated that relative growth of the larynx is allometric negative (b= 0.55, p < 0.001). These data are important in estimating the fetal gesta...

With the development of national-scale forest biomass monitoring work, accurate estimation of forest biomass on a large scale is becoming an important research topic in forestry. In this study, the stem wood, branches, stem bark, needles, roots and total biomass models for larch were developed at the regional level, using a general allometric equation, a dummy variable model, a mixed effects mo...

Mathematical models for the dependence of energy expenditure (EE) on body mass and composition are essential tools in metabolic phenotyping. EE scales over broad ranges of body mass as a non-linear allometric function. When considered within restricted ranges of body mass, however, allometric EE curves exhibit 'local linearity.' Indeed, modern EE analysis makes extensive use of linear models. S...

In order to compare to data gathering methods for shoot biomass assessments of Zostera marina, we compare two allometric models each one representing a data gathering method, one at leaf level and the other in aggregated form. The first allometric model presented leaf dry weight in terms of leaf length as . w l   The second model is expressed as a several-variables version of the allometric E...

BACKGROUND On the ECG, the PR interval measures the time taken by an electrical impulse generated in the sinoatrial node to propagate from atria to ventricles. From mouse to whale, the PR interval increases approximately 10(1), whereas body mass (BM) augments approximately 10(6). Scaling of many biological processes (eg, metabolic rate, life span, aortic diameter) is described by the allometric...
