Major climate-related species distributions at the large scale include the limit of trees, which is associated with the isoline for mean July air temperatures of about 10 °C [3] (as discussed in [4]) and soil temperature of 7 °C [5], and the limit of woody plants such as dwarf shrubs that are one indicator of the boundary of the polar desert biome [6].

The pure geometry of Edgeworth's diagram led Fisher to note that in order to determine the optimal budget distribution we do not need to know how many utils each isoline represents: the knowledge of the isolines as such suffices.
Dictionary of the History of Ideas NICHOLAS GEORGESCU-ROEGEN 1968
The budget distribution that maximizes John's total utility is the point M at which one isoline is tangent to this budget line.
