Journal ArticleDOI
Interpreting phenotypic variation in plants.
TL;DR: Comparing plants as a function of plant size or developmental stage, as well as afunction of age, broadens the understanding of phenotypic variation between plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass allocation in plants: ontogeny or optimality? a test along three resource gradients
TL;DR: Growth analysis revealed that each species displayed significant plasticity in growth rates and substantial amounts of ontogenetic drift in root:shoot biomass ratios and ratios of leaf area to biomass across each of the three resource gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasticity in root/shoot partitioning: optimal, ontogenetic, or both?
TL;DR: It is concluded that, for these annual species, root/shoot partitioning is partially consistent with optimal partitioning theory but that is also highly ontogenetically constrained.
