Abstract:Abstract:The role of branching on the development of size hierarchies was studied on experimental populations of the annual herb Galium aparine L. (Rubiaceae). All branches of plants growing at high and low density were severed as plants developed, and the growth of individual plants, the development of growth and size inequalities, and the mean change in the size ranking of plants over time were compared with those of populations of naturally branched plants. Size allometries were analysed for all treatments.… Show more
