“…The elastic similarity implies that the relative margin of safety against mechanical failure is maintained during height growth by increasing diameter via lateral cambium activity (Rich 1986). Therefore, constraints on further increases in height in non-woody species would result from limitations on the maximum stiffness and strength that plant tissue can achieve (Niklas 1993b). Although palms lack a vascular cambium (Tomlinson 1961), many palm species achieve heights equal to those attained by many of the largest dicots and gymnosperms (Niklas 1994;Schatz et al 1985;Kahn 1986;Kahn & Castro 1985).…”

“…4, we plot this maximal value as a function of the axial and sectional growth parameters (µ 1 and ν 1 respectively). In addition, we plot the value of breaking stress for pith tissue estimated from [Niklas (1993)] in which the Young Modulus for the pith is around 1 Mpa (Fig. 1 in [Niklas (1993)]) and values of the breaking stresses are around 0.3 MPa (Fig.…”

“…Según Niklas, en el sentido más formal, el tejido vegetal habría que considerarlo como una estructura y no como un material (Niklas 1993). Aduce que mientras que el módulo de Young y la tensión de rotura son propiedades mecánicas independientes del tamaño en un material no biológico; en los tejidos vegetales estas propiedades sí son fuertemente dependientes del tamaño.…”
