• Superhydrophobic and superhydrophilic plant surfaces: an inspiration for biomimetic materials (2009, unknown): “Structure-related properties of plant surfaces include the formation of low-adhesive surfaces, e.g. sliding of insects (Gorb et al. 2005), and an increase in the reflection of visible light or absorption of harmful UV radiation (Barnes & Cardoso-Vilhena 1996; Pfündel et al. 2006).”
• PROSPECT-4 and 5: Advances in the leaf optical properties model separating photosynthetic pigments (2008, background): “…assumed to be invariable from one species to another, which is true for kspe(k) but certainly not for σ and n(k) due to the changing nature of leaf surfaces and wax types (Pfündel et al., 2006), and because refraction and absorption are theoretically correlated in a complexmedium (Berthier, 1993).”
