A global method for calculating plant CSR ecological strategies applied across biomes world‐wide (2017, background): “Potential for a global system for comparative plant ecology lies in the fact that variation in leaf economics and leaf size is a ubiquitous phenomenon evident not just for temperate herbs but also for trees, lianas and understorey herbs in tropical forests (Santiago & Wright 2007).”
Global quantification of contrasting leaf life span strategies for deciduous and evergreen species in response to environmental conditions (2012, background): “Such overlap in LLS has also been reported for other aseasonal tropical environments, independent of those in our database (Reich et al., 2004; Poorter & Bongers, 2006; Santiago & Wright, 2007).”
Tropical tree seedling growth responses to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium addition (2012, background): “K + is the most abundant ion in plant cells and is critical for a host of biochemical pathways including osmoregulation, photosynthesis, cell extension, oxidative phosphorylation and protein activation (Evans & Sorger 1966; Marschner 1995; Santiago & Wright 2007).”
Plant functional traits and soil carbon sequestration in contrasting biomes. (2008, unknown): “…trait complementarity in light and aboveground water and nutrient interception, e.g. by overstory plants and the species inhabiting forest canopies such as epiphytes and lianas or understory vegetation, may increase soil carbon and nutrient input quantity and quality (Santiago & Wright 2007).”
Ecology of Leaf Longevity (2011, background): “The presence of relationships at the global scale does not necessarily mean the same relationships will be detected in regional data sets (Santiago and Wright 2007).”
