Do Functional Traits Relate Metabolic Scaling Theory to Observed Growth Rate?
To model plant growth, ecologists have integrated metabolism into allometric equations, most notoriously known in the West Brown Enquist model, which is an extension of the all-inclusive Metabolic Scaling Theory (MST) (West et al. 1999). This formula takes form of the power function Ṁ = βMᶿ, where β...
