• Linking small-scale topography with microclimate, plant species diversity and intra-specific trait variation in an alpine landscape (2015, background): “…40 m × 40 m sites similar to what is expected over an altitudinal range of 350–700 m (assuming a standard lapse rate of 5.5 K km−1; Körner 2007), or a latitudinal range of 308–616 km (2.7 and 5.5 degrees, respectively, assuming a lapse rate of 0.73 K per degree latitude; De Frenne et al. 2013).”
• Genetic divergence in forest trees: understanding the consequences of climate change (2014, background): “…Society, Functional Ecology, 28, 22–36 environmental gradients are of special interest because they are driven partly by temperature variation and thus extant observed divergence between populations results from past environmental climate changes (Frenne et al. 2013; Read et al., in press).”
• Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, unknown): “For example, de Groot et al. (2003) group B.”
• Plants show more flesh in the tropics: variation in fruit type along latitudinal and climatic gradients (2017, background): “It has been suggested that climate is the primary driver of latitudinal patterns in biotic interactions (De Frenne et al. 2013).”
• Why are plant–soil feedbacks so unpredictable, and what to do about it? (2018, background): “Plants and soil organisms respond differently to changes in temperature, either along latitudinal (De Frenne et al., 2013) or elevational gradients (Sundqvist, Sanders, & Wardle, 2013), as well as due to climate change (Classen et al., 2015).”
• Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Consistent with this temperature gradient, plant height decreases towards the poles at the cross- species and community scales (Moles et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2016), but not at the withinspecies level (De Frenne et al., 2013).”
• Scaling from Traits to Ecosystems: Developing a General Trait Driver Theory via Integrating Trait-Based and Metabolic Scaling Theories (2015, background): “, 2011; Swenson and Enquist, 2007) and to predict large-scale ecosystem shifts due to climate change (Elser et al., 2010; Frenne et al., 2013).”
