Woody plants vary greatly from tall trees to branching shrubs with increasing dryness. Variation in plant allometry is driven by both biotic and abiotic factors, reflecting different plant adaptation strategies in different environments. Here, we explore how aboveground allometry of different woody plants responds to increasing dryness along an extensive aridity gradient.

生长更宽的冠层或较厚的茎：木本植物对干燥增加的变化响应

木本植物的差异很大，从高大的树木到干燥的分支灌木。植物异形体的变化是由生物和非生物因素共同驱动的，反映了在不同环境中不同的植物适应策略。在这里，我们探索了不同木本植物的地上异形体如何响应于广泛的干旱梯度而增加的干燥度。
