Size-dependent variations in individual traits and trait scaling relationships within a shade-tolerant evergreen tree species.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF STUDY: The plant size-trait relationship is a fundamental dimension in the spectrum of plant form and function. However, it remains unclear whether the trait scaling relationship within species is modified by tree size. Investigating size-dependent trait covariations within species is crucial for understanding the ontogenetic constraints on the intraspecific economic spectrum and, more broadly, the...
