Geophysical Applications of Vegetation Modeling (2001, background): “…a more realistic way of simulating treeline in the past under lowered atmo- 2.2 Methods 41 spheric CO2 concentrations [Arno and Hammerly, 1984; Cowling, 1999; Jolly and Haxeltine, 1997; Körner, 1999; MacDonald and Gajewski, 1992; Street-Perrott et al., 1997; Tranquillini, 1979; Walter, 1973].”
Break zones in the distributions of alleles and species in alpine plants (2011, background): “Mountain ranges may be seen as melting pots where species and genetic lineages from different refugia met after recolonization, leading to high levels of diversity (Körner, 2003; Petit et al., 2003; Gugerli & Sperisen, 2010).”
Handbook of standardized protocols for collecting plant modularity traits (2019, background): “In seasonal climates, bud preformation happens during the season preceding sprouting (Körner, 2003).”
Modulation of leaf economic traits and trait relationships by climate (2005, methodology): “Otherwise, data were taken from the source publications from which leaf data were obtained (where given) or from the nearest weather stations, with temperature data scaled where necessary by an altitudinal lapse rate of 0.6 ° C per 100 m (Körner, 1999).”
ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE AEROTERRESTRIAL GREEN ALGA KLEBSORMIDIUM CRENULATUM (CHAROPHYCEAE, STREPTOPHYTA) ISOLATED FROM AN ALPINE SOIL CRUST WITH AN EMPHASIS ON DESICCATION STRESS 1 (2010, background): “While adaptive strategies in higher plants of the Alps and other mountains have been intensively studied (Körner 2003, Larcher 2003, Holzinger et al. 2007, Lütz and Engel 2007, and references therein), information on soil algae from these areas is very limited (Türk and Gärtner 2001).”
Local adaptation and plasticity of Erysimum capitatum to altitude: its implications for responses to climate change (2013, background): “Iteroparity, a life-history strategy with repeated reproduction, is common in alpine environments and is considered to be adaptive there (Bliss 1971; K€orner 2003).”
Stay or go – how topographic complexity influences alpine plant population and community responses to climate change (2017, background): “ridge-snowbed gradients in alpine landscapes (Graae et al., 2011; Körner, 2003), and flat vs.”
Evolutionary origin of species diversity on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2021, background): “These cushion species have a highly compact growth form and low stature, and such a special form is generally assumed to be effective for trapping and retaining heat, as well as enhancing soil moisture (Körner, 2003; Sun et al., 2014).”
Environmental and developmental controls on specific leaf area are little modified by leaf allometry (2008, result): “…are consistently smaller, Cunningham, Summerhayes & Westoby 1999), others disagree (e.g. leaf size decreases in low temperature environments in a consistent manner across previous studies, Körner 1999), while for others there is no substantial specific previous information (e.g. fire frequency).”
Patterns of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation in the wide elevation range of the alpine plant Arabis alpina (2018, background): “Short and compact stature, for example, is known to help plants to decouple their temperature from atmospheric temperatures, hence helping to keep photosynthetic activity sufficiently efficient, as is illustrated by cushion plants (Körner, 2003).”
Linking small-scale topography with microclimate, plant species diversity and intra-specific trait variation in an alpine landscape (2015, background): “For example, variation in slope and aspect over a few metres influences patterns of radiation load, snow distribution and water run-off, hence creating variation in microclimate (Körner 2003).”
