Tree size and climatic water deficit control root to shoot ratio in individual trees globally

Tree size and climatic water deficit control root to shoot ratio in individual trees globally

Plants acquire carbon from the atmosphere and allocate it among different organs in response to environmental and developmental constraints (Hodge, 2004; Poorter et al ., 2012). One classic example of differential allocation is the relative investment into aboveground vs belowground organs, captured...
