Self-thinning and community persistence in a simple size-structured dynamical model of plant growth.

F Dercole1, K Niklas, R Rand.   

Abstract

This paper presents a size-structured dynamical model of plant growth. The model takes the form of a partial differential-integral equation and includes the effects of self- shading by leaves. Closed form solutions are presented for the equilibrium size density distribution. Analytic conditions are derived for community persistence, and the self-thinning exponent is obtained as a function of species characteristics and environmental conditions.
