      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.},
