To prioritize conservation efforts, it is important to know which plant species are most vulnerable to extinction. Intrinsic extinction vulnerabilities depend on demographic parameters, but for many species these demographic parameters are lacking. Body size has been successfully used as proxy of such parameters to estimate extinction vulnerability of birds and mammals. For plants, not all necessary demographic parameters have been related to size yet.

将植物高度与人口比率和灭绝脆弱性联系起来

为了优先考虑保护工作，重要的是要了解哪些植物物种最容易灭绝。内在的灭绝脆弱性取决于人口统计参数，但对于许多物种来说，这些人口统计参数是缺乏的。体型已成功地用作这些参数的代理来估计鸟类和哺乳动物的灭绝脆弱性。对于植物来说，并非所有必要的人口统计参数都与大小相关。
