Root traits are multidimensional: specific root length is independent from root tissue density and the plant economic spectrum (2016, background): “For example, in the smallscale soil fertility gradient in the warm temperate rain forest, Magnoliids, Eudicots and tree ferns dominated on fertile soil, whereas conifers tended to dominate on infertile soil (Jager et al. 2015).”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “Litter N and P decreased in woody plants of New Zealand along a soil chronsequence, from 60 to 120,000 years, thereby increasing the resorption proficiency of N and P within older, infertile soils (Richardson et al., 2005).”
Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, background): “For instance, this is the case of successional gradients (Bazzaz 1996, Prach et al. 1997, Garnier et al. 2004, Richardson et al. 2005) or along ecotones (Dodd et al. 2002) which are prime opportunities to obtain time series of plant functional traits.”
A guide for using functional diversity indices to reveal changes in assembly processes along ecological gradients (2013, background): “Rather, fitness is enhanced by traits that maximize acquisition and retention of limiting belowground resources (e.g. Richardson et al. 2005; Lambers et al. 2008; Holdaway et al. 2011).”
Foliar nutrient concentrations and resorption efficiency in plants of contrasting nutrient‐acquisition strategies along a 2‐million‐year dune chronosequence (2014, background): “Communitylevel changes in leaf nutrient concentration and resorption with respect to soil fertility are associated both with variation among species and with changes in species composition (Richardson et al. 2005; Wardle et al. 2009).”
Species‐ and community‐level patterns in fine root traits along a 120 000‐year soil chronosequence in temperate rain forest (2011, methodology): “In January 2002 we collected leaf samples from 28 woody species including two species of tree ferns (see Richardson et al. 2004, 2005 for more details).”
Plasticity in leaf and stem nutrient resorption proficiency potentially reinforces plant–soil feedbacks and microscale heterogeneity in a semi‐arid grassland (2012, background): “…2005), there is evidence that the nutrient concentration of leaf litter often decreases (i.e. resorption proficiency (RP) increases; Killingbeck 1996) in parallel to soil nutrient availability both between (Wright & Westoby 2003) and within species (Richardson et al. 2005; Norris & Reich 2009).”
The intrinsic dimensionality of plant traits and its relevance to community assembly (2014, background): “Each independent trait dimension has the potential to be selected by different environmental filters; for example, leaf tissue chemistry may be selected by soil nutrients (Richardson et al. 2005), and wood density may be selected by extreme climatic events (Chave et al. 2009).”
Resource partitioning for soil phosphorus: a hypothesis (2008, background): “Although podocarps possess a variety of features that allow them to compete effectively under nutrient-poor conditions (Richardson et al. 2005a), an additional factor may therefore be that they are efficient at acquiring phosphorus from refractory soil organic phosphorus compounds.”
Linking vegetation change, carbon sequestration and biodiversity: insights from island ecosystems in a long‐term natural experiment (2012, result): “This is consistent with what has been observed for some species during ecosystem retrogression in temperate and subtropical regions (Cordell et al. 2001; Richardson et al. 2005).”
Leaf nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry across 753 terrestrial plant species in China. (2005, background): “These studies have highlighted the general importance of stoichiometry to ecology across the range of biota and ecosystem types (Sterner & Elser, 2002), identified biogeographic patterns in terrestrial foliar stoichiometry across local, regional and global gradients (Vitousek et al ., 1995; McGroddy”
