摘要: An analysis of the maximum height woody plant species across globe reveals that an intermediate size is remarkably rare. We speculate this may be due to intrinsic suboptimality or ecosystem bistability with open landscapes favouring shrubs, and closed canopies propelling trees excessive tallness.
