Abstract: The ways of resource allocations in different modules are one of plant survival strategies. Based on morphologic and biomass measurement comparisons of morphology and resource allocation of Plantago major and P. depressacollected in the same environment have been made. The results show that quantitative relationships and resources allocations between different modules are proper in different species, they can reflect unprejudicedly ecological characteristics of individuals.

Key words: habitat, Plantago, resource allocation
