The triangular seed mass–leaf area relationship holds for annual plants and is determined by habitat productivity

Abstract: Summary Plant allometries help us to understand resource allocation in plants and provide insight into how communities are structured. For woody species, a triangular allometric relationship between seed size and leaf size occurs in which all combinations are all possible, except for species with big seeds and small leaves (Cornelissen ). This relationship is thought to be a consequence of between‐habitat variation in abiotic conditions. In this study, we tested if the triangular relationship between seed ma… Show more

While we cannot rule out the possibility that the patterns we found were related to other, highly correlated traits, the fact that our data confirm two independent assumptions of the model (growth allometry and size‐asymmetry of light competition [DeMalach et al .…”

“…Ackerly, ; Baraloto et al, ; de la Riva et al, ; Jager et al, ; Li & Bao, ), while fewer studies have done so across non‐woody species (e.g. Cheng et al, ; Craine, Froehle, Tilman, Wedin, & Chapin, ; Craine & Lee, ; Santini et al, ). To our knowledge, only Diaz et al () have specifically contrasted the difference in coordination among different traits across tissue types among woody and non‐woody species, finding no difference in trait interdependence between growth forms, but some differences in the strength of specific trait correlations.…”
