Examples of deviations between allometrically projected leaf growth rates. We portrait several trajectories of allometrically projected leaf growth rates L ga (α ep , β eq ,t, ∆t) in units of mg. leaf −1.day−1. These trajectories were produced by variations α ep and β ep in fitted parameters \( \widehat{\alpha} \) and \( \widehat{\beta} \), complying with the condition ρ(p, q)2 = stde(\( \widehat{\alpha} \))2 + stde(\( \widehat{\beta} \))2/4. We show the reference trajectory \( {L}_{ga}\left(\widehat{\alpha},\ \widehat{\beta},t,\varDelta t\right) \) in red. The number of days elapsed between sampling times is 15
