Composition and Dynamics of Functional Groups of Trees During Tropical Forest Succession in Northeastern Costa Rica (2010, background): “…functional attributes or demographic rates provides insight into both applied and theoretical questions, such as selecting species for reforestation programs, assessing ecosystem services, and understanding community assembly processes in tropical forests (Diaz et al. 2007, Kraft et al. 2008).”
Carbon storage in tropical forests correlates with taxonomic diversity and functional dominance on a global scale (2014, background): “Maximum diameter can serve as a proxy for potential height, which is considered an important indicator of the light capture strategy (Falster & Westoby, 2005; Kraft et al., 2008).”
The biogeography and filtering of woody plant functional diversity in North and South America (2012, methodology): “This has resulted in a great deal of evidence supporting the general importance of abiotic filtering driving the structure of local-scale assemblages (e.g. Weiher et al., 1998; Stubbs & Wilson, 2004; Cornwell et al., 2006; Kraft et al., 2008; Swenson & Enquist, 2009).”
