Plant trait–digestibility relationships across management and climate gradients in permanent grasslands (2014, result): “High levels of disturbance, via biomass removal, and unstressed conditions (high plant nutrition indices, short drought period, low altitude) were associated with communities with low LDMC and high SLA, LNC and LPC values, consistent with previous studies (Lavorel & Garnier 2002; D ıaz et al. 2007; ”
Using plant functional traits to guide restoration: A case study in California coastal grassland (2011, background): “In contrast, mowing and biomass removal in a restoration context should be expected to favor species that display rapid returns on leaf investments, with high SLA and low leaf density (Craine et al. 2001, Cruz et al. 2010).”
Which plant traits determine abundance under long‐term shifts in soil resource availability and grazing intensity? (2012, background): “The prevalence of such a grazing-tolerant strategy under more intense grazing has also been reported elsewhere (Cingolani, Noy-Meir &Diaz 2005; Cruz et al. 2010).”
