Fractal geometry is heritable in trees.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2004

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the genetic basis to landscape vegetation structure is an important step that will allow us to examine ecological and evolutionary processes at multiple spatial scales. Here for the first time we show that the fractal architecture of a dominant plant on the landscape exhibits high broad-sense heritability and thus has a genetic basis. The fractal architecture of trees is known to influence...
