Molecular-transport distances in inhabited spaces of a hierarchially organized phytosystem

Here we consider the morphofunctional index: the ratio of the volume of the habitable space of the plant to its boundary surface (L = V/S, cm). L is interpreted as the average distance between all points on the surface S and all points in the volume of the bounded space V. The proposed approach allows to consider and compare objects of different levels of organization and origin. It is shown that L is stabilized in ontogenetic and dimensional series of objects at the organizational and ecological levels of the organization by changing the geometric shape of the habitable space and the structure of the phytocenosis.
