The results showed that mean stem and root masses as well as mean above-ground and root masses scaled in a near-isometric manner across sites, except at two sites, which exhibited an exponent slightly less than unity. Mean needle mass scaled as 3/4 power of mean stem mass, except at one site, which exhibited an exponent slightly higher than 3/4. Mean branch mass scaled isometrically with mean stem mass at each site. These results supported the WBE theory. However, mean branch mass across sites scaled neither as 3/4 nor 1 power of mean stem mass, indicating that the scaling relationship predicted by WBE theory for these two components did not hold in P. massoniana stands.
