Abstract
1 página, 16 referencias.Enquist and Niklas proposed global rules for\ud plant biomass allocation allometry (1). However,\ud early plant ontogeny (from emergence\ud to ;5 g plant dry mass) follows different\ud rules than they propose, and this early stage\ud constitutes a crucial period for establishment,\ud with plant size ranging across six orders of\ud magnitude. At this crucial stage, their model\ud falls short in a number of important respects.Peer revieweKeywords
