Cause Analysis of the Various Shapes of Leaves and Estimate the Actual Weight of the Leaves

Article Preview

Abstract:

The most attractive secret of the leaves is why they have the various shapes and the weight of the leaves. Based on the theory of gene and ecological environment, a model is built in this paper to explore it. The result can be extended to predict the weight of any parts of the tree and adapted for great majority kinds of trees.
