Shifts in plant nutrient use strategies under secondary forest succession (2006, background): “When light is limited, plants tend to allocate more for aboveground biomass (Grime 2001).”
Linkages of plant traits to soil properties and the functioning of temperate grassland (2010, background): “Theory and recent global-scale studies show that the quality of leaf litter inputs to soil is strongly related to evolutionary trade-offs in plant growth strategies to maximize resource gain or to conserve nutrients (Reich et al. 1998; Grime 2001; Wright et al. 2004).”
Measuring the importance of competition in plant communities (2009, background): “However, Grime (2001), when discussing the importance of competition, seems to be primarily interested in controls on community membership.”
Plant regeneration directs changes in grassland composition after extreme drought: a 13‐year study in southern Switzerland (2004, background): “Fast growing species may be expected to be more competitive under humid and less tolerant under dry conditions compared with slow growing species (Grime 2001).”
Beta diversity and the scale‐dependence of the productivity‐diversity relationship: a test in the Californian serpentine flora (2006, background): “At the same time, resource competition (Tilman 1982; Grime 2001) and assemblage-level thinning (Oksanen 1996; Stevens & Carson 1999) can prevent the additional diversity associated with higher productivity from being absorbed into small localities.”
Differential genetic influences on competitive effect and response in Arabidopsis thaliana (2005, background): “Traits outside the root system can influence below-ground competitive ability if root and shoot competition interact to affect plant growth (Cahill 1999, 2002), or if competitive ability is a characteristic of a plant (Grime 2001).”
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (2010, background): “Grime & Lloyd (1973) found that thistle seedlings in the Peak District occurred more often when the surface pH was above 4.”
Can CSR classification be generally applied outside Britain? (2010, methodology): “…by particularly delicate leaves and high growth rates, but ‘‘are adapted to exploit environments intermittently favourable for rapid plant growth’’ (Grime 2001), differing from competitors in both vegetative and reproductive traits: ruderals are often annual or short-lived perennial rosette…”
Grazing, Environmental Heterogeneity, and Alien Plant Invasions in Temperate Pampa Grasslands (2002, methodology): “First, they conformed to the well-known unimodal relationship between plant richness and habitat stress/fertility gradients found across plant communities in other systems (Tilman and Pacala 1993; Huston 1999; Grime 2001).”
Scaling from leaf traits to fire behaviour: community composition predicts fire severity in a temperate forest (2011, background): “Prompted especially by the need to predict ecosystem responses to global change, researchers have shown increasing interest in linking characteristics of individual species to their effects on ecosystem-level properties (Lavorel et al. 1997; Grime 2001; Lavorel & Garnier 2002; Garnier et al. 2004; V”
Introduced plants of the invasive Solidago gigantea (Asteraceae) are larger and grow denser than conspecifics in the native range (2004, background): “An establishment with seeds requires a gap in space and time (Grime, 2001).”
Effects of litter on seedling establishment in natural and semi‐natural grasslands: a meta‐analysis (2013, background): “Small seeds contain less reserve tissue to support this deficit, diminishing emergence below a litter layer (Westoby et al. 1996; Leishman et al. 2000; Grime 2001; Fenner & Thompson 2005).”
Plant trait responses to grazing – a global synthesis (2007, methodology): “Prominent examples of this approach are the models of Grime (1977, 1990, 2001) and Westoby (1998, 1999).”
Trait interactions help explain plant invasion success in the German flora (2008, background): “Recurrent patterns of trait combinations can be observed and different sets of trait combinations have already been conceptualized to different plant ecological strategies (see e.g. Westoby 1998; Grime 2002).”
Importance: an overlooked concept in plant interaction research (2008, background): “This leads to widespread confusion within the ecological literature including, for example, the misapplication to the theories of Grime of analytical techniques that examine competition intensity. In order to highlight this issue we look in particular at the recent paper by Wilson (2007). Wilson’s w”
Invasion impacts diversity through altered community dynamics (2005, background): “Most of the species that exhibited increased extinction rates were short-lived ruderal species whose population dynamics are characterized by high extinction and recolonization rates (Grime 2001).”
Measuring the functional redundancy of biological communities: a quantitative guide (2016, background): “In this framework, Grime (1974, 2001) identified three main directions of adaptive specialization affecting plant performance, which reflect primary tradeoffs between plant size and resource economics in a standardized way (see Pierce et al. 2013).”
Leaf digestibility and litter decomposability are related in a wide range of subarctic plant species and types (2004, background): “This supports the view that classification of plant species based on morphology and functionality, as opposed to higher taxonomy, is a useful concept for investigating carbon- and nutrient-cycling processes (Chapin, Autumn & Pugnaire 1993; Díaz & Cabido 1997; Lavorel et al. 1997; Grime 2001).”
Incorporating plant functional diversity effects in ecosystem service assessments (2007, background): “Abiotic variables often explain a significant amount of variation in EP (4, 19).”
