- Functional branch analysis as tool for fractal scaling above-and belowground trees for their additive and non-additive properties (2002, background): “Introduction Trees cover a broader range of scale in their size than any other organism (Thomas, 2000) and the concept 'tree' needs a scalar before any meaningful statements about biomass, nutrient stocks or uptake, water use, carbon sequestration, pro* Corresponding author.”
- Dead wood in semi-natural temperate broadleaved woodland: contribution of coarse and fine dead wood, attached dead wood and stumps (2004, background): “In addition to above-ground dead wood, 20–30% of the dead wood may exist in roots (Thomas, 2001), but this dead wood component is not studied by us.”
- Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “For instance, for Thomas (2000), “a tree is any plant with a self-supporting, perennial woody stem”; for Donoghue (2005) the tree growth habit is characterized by “tall plants, with a thickened single trunk, branching well above ground level”; and for Niklas (1997) a tree is “any perennial plant…”
- Nutrient partitioning and storage in arid-zone forests of the mangroves Rhizophora stylosa and Avicenniamarina (2002, result): “This pattern was expected, being consistent with data from other trees and reflecting the fact that leaves and roots are the respective foci of carbon fixation and nutrient uptake ( Thomas 2000 ).”
- Biological Flora of the British Isles: Fagus sylvatica (2012, background): “The bark of a beech 30 cm in diameter is usually only 6 mm thick (Thomas 2000).”
- Beyond the Roots of Young Seedlings: The Influence of Age and Order on Fine Root Physiology (2002, background): “One year’s leafy twig or one leaf with its axillary bud are two examples of above-ground growth modules (Watkinson and White 1986; Thomas 2001).”
