  2. Gravitropism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitropism

    Experiments show that auxin distribution is characterized by a fast movement of auxin to the lower side of the root in response to a gravity stimulus at a 90° degree angle or more. However, once the root tip reaches a 40° angle to the horizontal of the stimulus, auxin distribution quickly shifts to a more symmetrical arrangement.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_trees

    Drunken trees, tilted trees, or a drunken forest, is a stand of trees rotated from their normal vertical alignment. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This commonly occurs in northern subarctic taiga forests of black spruce ( Picea mariana ) under which discontinuous permafrost or ice wedges have melted, [ 3 ] [ 4 ] causing trees to tilt at various angles.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_line

    The tree line follows the line where the seasonal mean temperature is approximately 6 °C or 43 °F. [12] [6] The seasonal mean temperature is taken over all days whose mean temperature is above 0.9 °C (33.6 °F). A growing season of 94 days above that temperature is required for tree growth. [13]

  5. Leaf angle distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf_angle_distribution

    The leaf angle distribution (or LAD) of a plant canopy refers to the mathematical description of the angular orientation of the leaves in the vegetation. Specifically, if each leaf is conceptually represented by a small flat plate, its orientation can be described with the zenith and the azimuth angles of the surface normal to that plate.
