摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on reproductive allocation (RA) and its relation to plant size, assessed as a vegetative dry mass. It aims (1) describe how allometric theory can be applied the concept of RA, (2) determine whether RA is correlated with Darwinian fitness by presenting data for few annual perennial species, (3) explore development impacts allometry modules in some detail an plant, (4) show biomass single propagule (here termed expenditure) may useful research because it commonly negatively related (5) review literature any generalizations made regarding life history (6) use path analysis functional components examination interrelationships among root, stem, leaf mass indirect effects other traits
