The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A comparison between different chlorophyll content meters under nutrient deficiency conditions (2017, background): “Assuming that higher LMA is related to a greater leaf thickness, mutual chloroplast shading may be avoided in thicker leaves (Hikosaka 2004; Coste et al. 2010).”
Functional and phylogenetic assembly in a Chinese tropical tree community across size classes, spatial scales and habitats (2014, background): “Leaf chlorophyll content is directly related to the photosynthetic rate of plants (Gitelson, Gritz & Merzlyak 2003; Coste et al. 2010).”
Functional leaf traits of vascular epiphytes: vertical trends within the forest, intra‐ and interspecific trait variability, and taxonomic signals (2016, methodology): “SPAD measurements were converted into chlorophyll concentrations using the general relationship from Coste et al. (2010).”
Changing drivers of species dominance during tropical forest succession (2014, unknown): “SPAD values correspond closely with independent measurements of chlorophyll contents (Coste et al. 2010).”
Leaf, stem and root tissue strategies across 758 Neotropical tree species (2012, methodology): “…content was estimated using three values from a Minolta SPAD 502DL meter (Spectrum Technologies, Illinois, USA) with calibrations based on Coste et al. (2010); leaf thickness was measured as the mean of three measurements with a digital micrometer (Mitutoyo Instruments, Singapore), and…”
