Allometric scaling of production and life-history variation in vascular plants

Invariant scaling relations across tree-dominated communities

Scaling metabolism from organisms to ecosystems

Thermodynamic and metabolic effects on the scaling of production and population energy use

Abstract Ecosystem properties result in part from the characteristics of individual organisms. How these individual traits scale to impact ecosystem‐level processes is currently...

Allometric scaling of maximum population density: a common rule for marine phytoplankton and terrestrial plants

A primary goal of macroecology is to identify principles that apply across varied ecosystems and taxonomic groups. Here we show that the allometric relationship observed between...

Allometric scaling of plant energetics and population density

Microbes on mountainsides: Contrasting elevational patterns of bacterial and plant diversity

The study of elevational diversity gradients dates back to the foundation of biogeography. Although elevational patterns of plant and animal diversity have been studied for cent...
