      abstract     = {We compiled a global database for leaf, stem and root
                      biomass representing c. 11 000 records for c. 1200
                      herbaceous and woody species grown under either controlled
                      or field conditions. We used this data set to analyse
                      allometric relationships and fractional biomass distribution
                      to leaves, stems and roots. We tested whether allometric
                      scaling exponents are generally constant across plant sizes
                      as predicted by metabolic scaling theory, or whether instead
                      they change dynamically with plant size. We also quantified
                      interspecific variation in biomass distribution among plant
                      families and functional groups. Across all species combined,
                      leaf vs stem and leaf vs root scaling exponents decreased
                      from c. 1.00 for small plants to c. 0.60 for the largest
                      trees considered. Evergreens had substantially higher leaf
                      mass fractions (LMFs) than deciduous species, whereas
                      graminoids maintained higher root mass fractions (RMFs) than
                      eudicotyledonous herbs. These patterns do not support the
                      hypothesis of fixed allometric exponents. Rather, continuous
                      shifts in allometric exponents with plant size during
                      ontogeny and evolution are the norm. Across seed plants,
                      variation in biomass distribution among species is related
                      more to function than phylogeny. We propose that the higher
                      LMF of evergreens at least partly compensates for their
                      relatively low leaf area : leaf mass ratio.},
