Spatial patterns of wood traits in China are controlled by phylogeny and the environment (2011, background): “However, ter Steege et al. (2006) suggested that the geographical variation in WD of trees in South America was affected primarily by forest dynamics, which in turn was driven by a gradient of soil fertility and dry season length.”
Fibre wall and lumen fractions drive wood density variation across 24 Australian angiosperms (2013, background): “…Enquist 2007; Martı´nez-Cabrera et al. 2009) and precipitation (Barajas-Morales 1985; Wiemann and Williamson 2002; Swenson and Enquist 2007; Martı´nez-Cabrera et al. 2009; Zhang et al. 2011), although not in all studies (Ter Steege and Hammond 2001; Wiemann and Williamson 2002; Muller-Landau 2004).”
Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Non- significant results are also common (Costa- Saura et al., 2016; de la Riva et al., 2017; Šímová et al., 2015; Wiemann & Williamson, 2002; Zhang et al., 2013).”
Regional and phylogenetic variation of wood density across 2456 Neotropical tree species. (2006, background): “…studies have shown that community-level wood density, averaged across all trees in a given locality, varies considerably among Neotropical forests (Wiemann and Williamson 2002, Baker et al. 2004, Muller-Landau 2004; see Plate 1) and should therefore be included as a predictive variable in…”
Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America (2008, methodology): “In contrast the first method assumes that wood density is constant within a species, an assumption that is known to be false (Wiemann & Williamson 2002).”
