Figure 2: Allometric relationships and growth rates for saplings trees.
From: Allometry and growth of eight tree taxa in United Kingdom woodlands
(a) Allometric relationships between D10 and DBH for the eight tree taxa considered here, estimated using parameters in data record 7 in equation 2. (b) Allometric relationships between D10 and height for the eight tree taxa considered here, estimated using the parameters in data record 7 in equation 3. (c) Allometric growth in different light environments for the six taxa for which the relevant parameters could be estimated. Functions estimated using parameters in data record 7 in equation 7. Solid lines are for 5 cm DBH trees, dotted lines for 10 cm DBH trees. ACERCA—Field Maple (Acer campestre); ACERPS—Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus); BETUSP—Birch (Betula spp.); CORYAV—Hazel (Corylus avellana); FAGUSY—Beech (Fagus sylvatica); FRAXEX—Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), QUERRO—Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur).
