Taylor's power law (TPL) is a variation of the variance:mean ratio and is often used to describe over‐ or underdispersed ecological distributions. We hypothesize that TPL is also applicable to the distribution of species traits and that the respective power law parameters might determine ecological functioning. Here, we aim to study this hypothesis in detail.

特征空间中的纬度梯度和缩放区域：日本木本植物的泰勒幂定律

泰勒幂定律（TPL）是方差：均值比的变化，通常用于描述过度分散或分散不足的生态分布。我们假设TPL也适用于物种性状的分布，并且各自的幂律参数可能决定生态功能。在这里，我们旨在详细研究这个假设。
