Allometry, the study of the growth rate of an organism's parts in
relation to the whole, has produced exciting results in research on
animals. Now distinguished plant biologist Karl J. Niklas has
written the first book to apply allometry to studies of the
evolution, morphology, physiology, and reproduction of plants.
Niklas covers a broad spectrum of plant life, from unicellular
algae to towering trees, including fossil as well as extant taxa.
He examines the relation between organic size and variations in
plant form, metabolism, reproduction, and evolution, and draws on
the zoological literature to develop allometric techniques for the
peculiar problems of plant height, the relation between body mass
and body length, and size-correlated variations in rates of growth.
For readers unfamiliar with the basics of allometry, an appendix
explains basic statistical methods.
For botanists interested in an original, quantitative approach to
plant evolution and function, and for zoologists who want to learn
more about the value of allometric techniques for studying
evolution, "Plant Allometry" makes a major contribution to the
study of plant life.
