Unifying the concepts of stability and resilience in ecology (2020, background): “Existing tolerance metrics measured as the maximum pulse perturbation a system can tolerate or as the horizontal distance to the tipping point in system variable × parameter (S × P) space (e.g. Craine et al., 2013; Vasilakopoulos & Marshall, 2015) ignore the complex nature of perturbations.”
A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, neutral): “In contrast to leaf economic traits, ITV was low for traits related to leaf size (area, length, width, thickness), which are typically considered independent of the leaf economics spectrum but have been linked with adaptation to broad climatic gradients (Craine et al. 2012).”
Hydrological niches in terrestrial plant communities: a review (2015, background): “…that across the full range of water availability from arid habitats to wetlands (Webb, Wallis & Stewardson 2012), even closely related species differ in their tolerance of water deficit or excess and how these conditions vary over time (Parolin et al. 2010; West et al. 2012; Craine et al. 2013).”
Multiple strategies for drought survival among woody plant species (2016, background): “However, within biomes, there is wide variation of drought susceptibility (Moreno-Gutierrez et al. 2012; West et al. 2012; Craine et al. 2013; Salgado Negret et al. 2013; Pivovaroff, Sack & Santiago 2014).”
Plant drought survival under climate change and strategies to improve perennial grasses. A review (2016, background): “However, the processes involved in the ability of the perennial herbaceous plant to survive and recover after tissue dehydration require better characterisation (Craine 2013; Hoover et al. 2014).”
Estimating the Impact of Drought on Agriculture Using the U.S. Drought Monitor (2018, neutral): “Deschênes and Greenstone (2007) take a different approach by exploiting year-to-year weather fluctuations rather than climate differences across counties, and by using yields and profits as outcome variables instead of farmland values, concluding that climate change impacts will be neutral or possib”
Challenging the maximum rooting depth paradigm in grasslands and savannas (2015, background): “…the vast majority of biomass in the top 30 cm of soil) compete for water in a smaller portion of the soil profile and are either better competitors for water when limiting (Schwinning & Kelly 2013), physiologically adapted to survive periods of low water availability (Craine et al. 2013) or both.”
Mechanisms of plant competition for nutrients, water and light (2013, background): “Only 1 MPa of tension is required to move water 100 m (Zimmermann 1983), but many woody species and grasses can withstand more than 10 MPa of tension (Pratt et al. 2008; Craine et al. 2013).”
