Scaling relations of leaf mass (<i>M</i>_L, Ton/individual) and total biomass (<i>M</i>_T, Ton/individual) in differing forested biomes.

<p><i>M</i>_T includes leaves, branches, stems and roots. The lines are linear RMA fits to the log-transformed data. For each biome, data include dominant trees from stands of variable age: (A) TDCF, (B) TECF, (C) TDBF, (D) SEBF, (E) SECF. All data are pooled in (F).
