Description of the form of trees by the parameters of the tree-like body: Effects of the branching angle and the branch length on the shape of the tree-like body
H Honda - Journal of theoretical biology, 1971 - Elsevier
An attempt was made to describe the multifarious form of erect trees by a few parameters.
Trees were approximated by the tree-like body which was made up of repeated bifurcations
of branches. Three-dimensional positions of the end-points of the branches could be
calculated using suitable but tentative solid geometrical assumptions which included some
parameters: branching angle and relative ratio of the branch lengths. The branching angle
and the relative ratio of the branch lengths were well demonstrated to have great effects …
