• EDAPHIC SPECIALIZATION IN TROPICAL TREES: PHYSIOLOGICAL CORRELATES AND RESPONSES TO RECIPROCAL TRANSPLANTATION (2005, background): “These traits are often associated with lower PNUE (Poorter and Remkes 1990, Poorter and Evans 1998, Wright and Cannon 2001) due to increased nitrogen allocation to nonphotosynthetic functions such as defensive compounds.”
• Light interception and radiation use efficiency response to narrow-wide row planting patterns in maize (2012, background): “Meanwhile, in identical species, greater LMA is accompanied by longer lifecycle (Reich et al., 1991; Wright and Cannon, 2001), such that the condition affects the growth and production rates (Hikosaka, 2005).”
• Convergence towards higher leaf mass per area in dry and nutrient‐poor habitats has different consequences for leaf life span (2002, background): “Standardized major axes (SMA) were used to describe the LL–LMA relationship as each variable had variation associated with it due to both measurement error and species-sampling, hence it was inappropriate to minimize sums of squares in the Y dimension only.”
• Plant phenology, leaf traits and leaf litterfall of contrasting life forms in the arid Patagonian Monte, Argentina (2008, background): “The SC – VGP dimension indicated the production of drought resistant leaves in plants with short or long vegetative growth period which extends over the dry season (Cunningham et al. 1999; Wright & Cannon 2001).”
• Stress magnitude matters: different intensities of pulsed water stress produce non‐monotonic resistance responses of host plants to insect herbivores (2009, methodology): “However, the quantified herbivore – relevant plant parameters ( Mattson, 1980; Slansky & Scriber, 1985; Waring & Price, 1990; Wright & Cannon, 2001 ): ‘size’ and ‘biomass’, ‘water’ and ‘nitrogen content’ and ‘LMA’, responded monotonically to increasing water stress, or were not different between the”
• Herbivore damage along a latitudinal gradient: relative impacts of different feeding guilds (2003, methodology): “Phyllode toughness was assessed using a purpose built leaf fracture toughness tester (described in Wright and Cannon 2001).”
• Extracting the most from terrestrial plant-derived n-alkyl lipids and their carbon isotopes from the sedimentary record: A review (2017, background): “Within that context, leaf litter is likely biased to the top of the canopy due to higher biomass, production rate, higher photosynthetic rate and shorter leaf lifespan (Parker et al., 1989; Reich et al., 1991; Wright and Cannon, 2001), which is supported by fossil assemblages (e.”
• Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “…spans (e.g. the leaf life span of L. perennis is only 29 days; Wright et al., 2004), which results in part because their low leaf toughness renders them vulnerable to mechanical damage and herbivory (Coley, 1988; Onoda et al., 2011; Reich, Uhl, Walters, & Ellsworth, 1991; Wright & Cannon, 2001).”
• Leaf traits and resprouting ability in the Mediterranean basin (2006, methodology): “Leaf dry matter content (LDMC) has been used as a surrogate of leaf density (Garnier & Laurent 1994; Niinemets 1999; Wright & Cannon 2001; Vile et al .”
• Physical defence traits enhance seedling survival of neotropical tree species (2007, background): “In leaves, both regional and global data analyses suggest that leaf density is strongly associated with leaf life span and adaptation to low resource environments of shade and infertile soils ( Wright & Cannon 2001; Wright et al. 2004).”
• Strategy shifts in leaf physiology, structure and nutrient content between species of high‐ and low‐rainfall and high‐ and low‐nutrient habitats (2001, background): “Species with low SLA (generally thicker and/or higher density leaves; Niinemets (1999) tend to have long-lived leaves, at least partly because structural reinforcement renders them less susceptible to herbivory and other physical hazards (Chabot & Hicks 1982; Reich et al. 1997; Wright & Cannon 2001”
