Fig. 1From: The effect of parameter variability in the allometric projection of leaf growth rates for eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) II: the importance of data quality control procedures in bias reductionObserved leaf length and biomass values. A plot of leaf length versus leaf biomass data reveals a power function-like trend masked by a great variability in observed leaf weight replicates for a given leaf size. Departure from an expected power function-like trend is more pronounced for smaller and larger leaves. The dispersion pattern shown suggests that data processing errors might have induced unduly biased leaf biomass valuesBack to article page
