Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, background): “…have had mixed success (Keddy et al. 1998, Wardle et al. 1998), in particular because species competitive rankings are sensitive to nutrient availability (Keddy et al. 2000), disturbance (Suding & Goldberg 2001), and to mycorrhizal associations (van der Heijden et al. 1998, Wardle et al. 1998).”
Are competitive effect and response two sides of the same coin, or fundamentally different? (2010, result): “In contrast, but similar to con- clusions of other researchers (Keddy, Twolanstrutt &Wisheu 1994; Novoplansky & Goldberg 2001; Suding & Goldberg 2001; Fraser & Miletti 2008), competitive response abilities were not correlated as a function of phytometer nor nutrient level (Figs 3 and 4).”
Does phylogenetic relatedness influence the strength of competition among vascular plants (2008, background): “…a few species have been observed following changes in resource availability and disturbance (e.g. Rice and Menke, 1985; Wilson and Tilman, 1995; Suding and Goldberg, 2001), while larger comparative studies have generally found that hierarchies are relatively stable between environments (Rösch…”
Plant strategies and trait trade‐offs influence trends in competitive ability along gradients of soil fertility and disturbance (2005, background): “In contradiction to the predictions of Suding & Goldberg (2001), alteration of neighbourhood structure by regular cutting resulted in a reversal of the competitive hierarchy for H. hirta and T. triandra and a shift in the hierarchy for other species (Table 4).”
Indices of plant competition (2003, background): “The log response ratio (ln RR, nr. 17, Hedges et al. 1999; Suding & Goldberg 2001; Weigelt et al. 2002) is one of two identical indices based on the calculation of competitive response (Cr, nr. 12).”
PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS AMONG TROPICAL TREE SEEDLINGS IN CONTRASTING MICROHABITATS (2005, background): “As a result, species performance rankings for some fitness component (e.g., survival or growth) are predicted to shift along microhabitat gradients (Tilman 1990, Suding and Goldberg 2001).”
