Crown allometry calibration

[rosiealice]

I came across this paper just now:

Figure 4c in particular has some PFT-specific terms for crown allometry parameterizations that we should perhaps think about making sure we have some consistancy with.

Let's use this discussion thread for allometry calibration issues. Cross-linking some old issues that also focused on allometries: #619 and #352

I have done some sensitivity tests for allometric growth of alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau, but since it is a single point I do not know whether it is representative.
And when I changed the allometric parameters, the changes in the seed bank exceeded my expectations.
So, if there is a good solution, what can I do?
