New model of plant structures reveals principles of supply networks | Santa Fe Institute: "SFI researchers Geoffrey West, James Brown, and Enquist have found remarkable fundamental processes across many systems and scales -- from animals to energy technologies to cities and companies -- that seem to arise from the form and limits of such distribution and supply networks.
The findings of the new model do a better job than previous models of matching empirical data for scaling relationships in a variety of trees -- including maple, oak, and pine -- which all exhibit important functional differences based on their anatomy."
