abstract = {We quantified the biomass allocation patterns to leaves,
stems and roots in vegetative plants, and how this is
influenced by the growth environment, plant size,
evolutionary history and competition. Dose-response curves
of allocation were constructed by means of a meta-analysis
from a wide array of experimental data. They show that the
fraction of whole-plant mass represented by leaves (LMF)
increases most strongly with nutrients and decreases most
strongly with light. Correction for size-induced allocation
patterns diminishes the LMF-response to light, but makes the
effect of temperature on LMF more apparent. There is a clear
phylogenetic effect on allocation, as eudicots invest
relatively more than monocots in leaves, as do gymnosperms
compared with woody angiosperms. Plants grown at high
densities show a clear increase in the stem fraction.
However, in most comparisons across species groups or
environmental factors, the variation in LMF is smaller than
the variation in one of the other components of the growth
analysis equation: the leaf area : leaf mass ratio (SLA). In
competitive situations, the stem mass fraction increases to
a smaller extent than the specific stem length (stem length
: stem mass). Thus, we conclude that plants generally are
less able to adjust allocation than to alter organ
morphology.},
