Fig. 8From: Axial variation in flexural stiffness of plant stem segments: measurement methods and the influence of measurement uncertaintyA realistic data set consisting of 50 replicates of synthesized measurements performed on a single stalk with standard uncertainty for length and slope of 1 mm and 2.5%, respectively. Circles represent the exact values for each stiffness value. Boxes indicate the distributions of solved values. Each box represents the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile. Whiskers span 95% of the distribution. Smaller boxes indicate the aggregate flexural stiffnesses obtained for adjacent internodes by using Tests 1–3 (see Fig. 2 for test numbers)Back to article page
