Dimensionless numbers are ubiquitous in the physical sciences because they provide insight into physical processes, organize large quantities of data, facilitate ‘scale analysis’ and establish ‘similarity’. Here I explore the use of dimensionless numbers in plant biology, focusing on the expansive growth rate of plant, fungal, and algal cells.

植物生物学的无量纲数

无量纲数在物理科学中无处不在，因为它们可以洞悉物理过程，组织大量数据，促进“规模分析”并建立“相似性”。在这里，我探讨了无量纲数在植物生物学中的应用，重点是植物，真菌和藻类细胞的快速增长。
