Biometric scaling- elaborate?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Hi anyone that might be listening, seems the forums a bit devoid these days!

 

Does anyone have a deep enough understanding of biometric scaling to help elaborate on the 4th dimensional fractal nature as mentioned ? I am assuming maybe incorrectly it refers to the foliar area versus dry mass and the management of reserves within the fractal mass.

 

I think their is a link with regards decay and retrenchment of trees with decays that would mean both the pruners and the non pruning arguments have been chewing the same bone from either end.

 

If thats what i think it is, and im right, this is a pretty cool settling of a long fought battle !

 

heavy I know but somebody gets it.

I have missed your posts,  and i am not entirely sure what you are asking. I have an inkling,  but an idiots version would be helpful

Is this Alder bracket doing what you are asking

I'll second the request for an idiot's guide please! Fractals are pretty fascinating in themselves so I'd be interested to hear about them in the context of tree biology and structure.

I was thinking only yesterday that the patterns on cyclamen leaves are reminiscent of the Mandelbrot Set.

We're either on the verge of a scientific breakthrough that will rival the discovery of sub atomic particles, or Tony's been eating the mushrooms rather than studying them. 🤣

@Tony Croft, have you got timescales on this? And choice of species?  K

Is the 4th dimension time?

Indeed, HG Wells wrote a book abt it 😉 K
