Sex allocation in California oaks: trade-offs or resource tracking?

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Knops Johannes M H, Koenig Walter D

Abstract excerpt

Trade-offs in sex resource allocation are commonly inferred from a negative correlation between male and female reproduction. We found that for three California oak species, aboveground annual net productivity (ANP) differences among individuals were primarily correlated with water availability and soil fertility. Reproductive biomass increased with ANP, but the relative allocation to reproduction was constant,...
