Figure 4.
(A–D) Comparison of the observed and predicted data of the rotated and right-shifted Lorenz curve for the leaf area distribution of a representative individual sapling of A. chinensis. Data points represent observations; curves represent predicted values. Specifically, in (A), the blue curve represents the estimated PE, and the red curve represents the estimated GPE. n represents the number of leaves on this individual sapling; AIC represents the Akaike information criterion of the corresponding nonlinear equation in each panel; RMSE represents the root-mean-square error.
