Root allocation N leaf

Value

Meaning

Exponential function

The response on leaf nitrogen concentration for the reallocation of new mobile carbon from the leaves to the roots is exponential. Viewing function Allocation of carbon – exponential function.

Independent

The response for the reallocation of new mobile carbon from the leaves to the roots is independent of the leaf nitrogen concentration.

Linear function

The response on leaf nitrogen concentration for the reallocation of new mobile carbon from the leaves to the roots is linear. Viewing function Allocation of carbon – linear function.
