A Representation of Variable Root Distribution in Dynamic Vegetation Models (2003, background): “Earth Interactions • Volume 7 (2003) • Paper No. 6 • Page 3 such as weight, height, length, diameter, or area, of various plant components to one another or to the entire plant, often via power-law relationships (e.g., Enquist and Niklas, 2002).”
Nitrogen/phosphorus leaf stoichiometry and the scaling of plant growth (2005, background): “Yet, across older individuals with woody stems and roots, prior work has shown that leaf mass scales as the 3/4 power of total body mass (i.e. ML M 3=4 T ) (Enquist & Niklas 2002).”
Novel forests maintain ecosystem processes after the decline of native tree species (2012, methodology): “We estimated the wood fraction of aboveground biomass increment using a global model: AGW ¼ AGB 0:113 3 AGB0:7565 where AGW is aboveground wood mass and AGB is total aboveground biomass (r2 ¼ 0.91; modified from Enquist and Niklas 2002).”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “For trees, the mass of stems increases linearly with the entire plant (Enquist and Niklas, 2002), however stemwoods are generally lower in nutrient concentrations as compared with the other elements of tree aboveground biomass, such as leaves, flowers, and fruits (Woodwell et al., 1975).”
Biomass and aboveground net primary production in a subtropical mangrove stand of Kandelia obovata (S., L.) Yong at Manko Wetland, Okinawa, Japan (2009, background): “…primary production of terrestrial forests are widely reported (Stewart et al. 1979; Binkley and Ryan 1998; Hughes et al. 1999; Coble et al. 2001; Enquist and Niklas 2002; Tanabe et al. 2003; Tateno et al. 2004; Turner et al. 2004; Zhao and Zhou 2005; Newman et al. 2006; Cheng and Niklas 2007;…”
The predominance of quarter-power scaling in biology (2004, background): “Recent studies have shown that these allometric equations also apply to both unicellular algae and higher plants – including both gymnosperms and angiosperms (Enquist et al. 1998; West et al. 1999b; Enquist & Niklas 2001; Niklas & Enquist 2001; Enquist & Niklas 2002; Niklas & Enquist 2002).”
Competition, species interaction and ageing control tree mortality in boreal forests (2011, background): “Given that a tree’s crown is scaled with its basal area and more crowded in a stand (Enquist & Niklas 2002), an individual in the understory is expected to receive less light under a denser canopy.”
RESORPTION EFFICIENCY DECREASES WITH INCREASING GREEN LEAF NUTRIENTS IN A GLOBAL DATA SET (2005, background): “Analyses of global ecological data sets have revealed several general principles that hold across contrasting biomes, soils, species, life-forms, and evolutionary histories (Field and Mooney 1986, Reich et al. 1997, Enquist and Niklas 2002).”
Interspecific integration of trait dimensions at local scales: the plant phenotype as an integrated network (2017, background): “Olson, Aguirre-Hern andez & Rosell (2009) proposed a mechanism based on metabolic proportionalities in Metabolic Scaling Theory (West, Brown & Enquist 1997, 1999; Enquist & Niklas 2002) that explains CR relationships (Fig.”
Consistency between an allometric approach and optimal partitioning theory in global patterns of plant biomass allocation (2007, background): “Note that the beta terms are allometric constants that may vary across species or differing environments (Enquist & Niklas 2002; Niklas & Enquist 2002).”
Allocation, plasticity and allometry in plants (2004, background): “…allocated more biomass to roots at a given size than plants growing in the absence of Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics (2004) 6, 207–215 1 Allometric growth is not to be confused with interspecific allometric relationships among adult plants (e.g. Enquist & Niklas 2002).”
GEMINI: a Grassland Model Simulating the Role of Plant Traits for Community Dynamics and Ecosystem F (2012, background): “, 1999), showing the role of the topology of the branching network for the assimilate demand and for the body size (Enquist and Niklas, 2002).”
Sapling size influences shade tolerance ranking among southern boreal tree species (2006, background): “Trees experience ontogenetic shifts in several important traits as they increase in size (Clark & Clark 1992; McConnaughay & Coleman 1999; Messier & Nikinmaa 2000; Enquist & Niklas 2002; Lusk 2004).”
