- Title
Scales and scaling in Tree Physiology.
- Authors
Mencuccini, Maurizio
- Abstract
The article "Scales and scaling in Tree Physiology" explores the concept of scaling in tree physiology research. Scaling involves studying processes and phenomena at different levels, from molecular to whole-plant studies. The article provides examples of downscaling, such as examining gene expression and physiological responses to stress, and upscaling, such as mathematical modeling of gas transport and analyzing tree-ring data. The article highlights the need for researchers to consider scaling in their studies to gain a comprehensive understanding of tree physiology. It also discusses specific studies that use a mechanistic approach to understand processes and their consequences at higher scales. Overall, the article emphasizes the importance of identifying relevant scales of study and conducting scaling of mechanisms and processes in tree physiology research.
