Tree growth changes with climate and forest type are associated with relative allocation of nutrients, especially phosphorus, to leaves and wood (2013, result): “:P concentration ratios in leaves (Reich & Oleksyn, 2004; Kerkhoff et al., 2005; Yuan & Chen, 2009; Sardans et al., 2011), but in other studies no relationship was observed (Han et al., 2005; Lovelock et al., 2007; He et al., 2008).”
How climate extremes—not means—define a species' geographic range boundary via a demographic tipping point (2014, methodology): “For example, using the latitudinal database on foliar nutrient content from Kerkhoff et al. (2005), none of the four primary host genera for Thyridopteryx exhibit a broadscale latitudinal trend in foliar carbon-tonitrogen ratio.”
The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “:P ratio at the community level (Kerkhoff et al. 2005), similar to the observations of Klausmeier et al. (2004) in marine ecosystems.”
Spatial patterns and climate relationships of major plant traits in the New World differ between woody and herbaceous species (2018, background): “Consistent with Kerkhoff et al. (2005), leaf phosphorus concentration of woody species tends to increase, whereas leaf nitrogen concentration tends to decrease in colder, more seasonal environments.”
Land-plant ecology on the basis of functional traits. (2006, methodology): “Data from [12] (a) (b) and [65] (c), kindly provided by the authors.”
Spatial patterns of leaf nutrient traits of the plants in the Loess Plateau of China (2007, background): “Kerkhoff et al. (2005) demonstrated that leaf N and P of 1,054 worldwide plant species was unrelated to the latitude, but leaf N/P ratio decreased remarkably with increased latitude (P < 0.0001).”
The biogeography and filtering of woody plant functional diversity in North and South America (2012, result): “Many of these results are consistent with previous findings (e.g. Reich & Oleksyn, 2004; Kerkhoff et al., 2005; Moles et al., 2007; Swenson & Enquist, 2007; Chave et al., 2009; Elser et al., 2010), suggesting that the results produced in this work derived using inherently heterogeneous sampling can…”
Leaf element concentrations of terrestrial plants across China are influenced by taxonomy and the environment (2012, background): “, 2007), while it contradicts the report that leaf N and P concentrations are not related to latitude (Kerkhoff et al., 2005).”
Soil acidity, ecological stoichiometry and allometric scaling in grassland food webs (2009, background): “In contrast, in terrestrial ecosystems the connections between nutrient stoichiometry and size scaling are only now beginning to be considered (Schade et al., 2003; Kerkhoff et al., 2005; Meehan, 2006; Enquist et al., 2007; Martinson et al., 2008; Reuman et al., 2009).”
C:N:P stoichiometry of Artemisia species and close relatives across northern China: unravelling effects of climate, soil and taxonomy (2015, background): “This is contrary to the foliar stoichiometry patterns reported for various plant groups and in different climatic regions (e.g. Kerkhoff et al. 2005; Lovelock et al. 2007; Townsend et al. 2007; He et al. 2008; Elser et al. 2010; Chen et al. 2013).”
Temperature and the biogeography of algal stoichiometry (2015, background): “, 2013), consistent with similar trends reported for terrestrial and freshwater biota (Reich & Oleksyn, 2004; Kerkhoff et al., 2005; Borer et al., 2013).”
