Resurrection Plants: The Puzzle of Surviving Extreme Vegetative Desiccation (2005, background): “The fully desiccation-tolerant plants will be considered only briefly as they have been described in detail in several recent reviews (Oliver et al., 2000a, b; Proctor, 2000; Alpert, 2000; Proctor and Tuba, 2002).”
Patterns of desiccation tolerance and recovery in bryophytes (2001, background): “ance may well be essentially different adaptations (though with features in common), evolved in response to different environmental challenges (Proctor 2000).”
The discovery, scope, and puzzle of desiccation tolerance in plants (2000, background): “ Proctor (2000) proposes that rapid desiccation is an important mechanism by which bryophytes minimize damage during dehydration.”
Desiccation-tolerance in bryophytes: a review (2007, background): “Arguably, this is just as much a ‘‘drought avoidance’’ strategy as are the DT seeds of winterannual and desert-ephemeral vascular plants (Proctor 2000b).”
Niche assembly of epiphytic bryophyte communities in the Guianas: a regional approach (2009, background): “Explicitly, if water availability in FG is more constant than it is in the other sites, the chances of the successful establishment of propagules and bryophyte growth are higher, since external water is an important determinant for photosynthesis and growth (Proctor, 2000; Leon-Vargas et al., 2006).”
Estimating global carbon uptake by lichens and bryophytes with a process-based model (2013, background): “Some mosses have, however, a relatively large capacity to store water extracellularly (Proctor, 2000).”
