Individual variability in tree allometry determines light resource allocation in forest ecosystems: a hierarchical Bayesian approach.

Oecologia - 1 Jul 2010

Vieilledent Ghislain, Courbaud Benoît, Kunstler Georges, Dhôte Jean-François, Clark James S

Abstract excerpt

Tree species differences in crown size and shape are often highlighted as key characteristics determining light interception strategies and successional dynamics. The phenotypic plasticity of species in response to light and space availability suggests that intraspecific variability can have potential consequences on light interception and community dynamics. Species crown size varies depending on site...
