Allometric power laws in NZ mountain beech forests
Manaaki Whenua – Landcare ResearchUsing above-ground biomass to measure the biomass of individual trees, we tested three power laws (Taylor's law; density-mass allometry; and variance-mass allometry) using 10 censuses of New Zealand mountain beech trees in 250 plots over 30 years on spatial scales ranging from 5 m to kilometers. The data support an article in Oikos : "Taylor's law and...Created 1 February 2024 • Updated 1 February 2024 -
