plantscale
Plantscale is a conceptual framework in botany and ecology for examining how plant form and function change across different size and spatial scales. It combines ideas from allometry, plant physiology, and ecosystem biology to relate traits such as metabolism, growth, and resource allocation to plant size, while also tracking how these traits influence interactions with soil, light, and neighboring organisms from the cellular level to the landscape level.
In practice, plantscale is used to build multi-scale models, predict growth under varying environmental conditions, and
Because scaling relationships differ among species and contexts, plantscale is not a single uniform theory but
