Carbon Content of Tree Tissues: A Synthesis (2012, methodology): “2010* [47] subtropical/Mediterranean Portugal 1 Elias and Potvin 2003 [4] tropical Panama 32 Fang et al.”
Variations and determinants of carbon content in plants: a global synthesis (2017, unknown): “Given that plant C content might vary with the growth stages of individuals (Elias and Potvin, 2003; Uri et al., 2012; Martin et al., 2013), we recorded the averaged C content of herbaceous species across different growth stages.”
Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America (2008, methodology): “Although the wood carbon fraction may exhibit some variation as faster-growing trees may have fewer of the more reduced and stable carbon compounds than do slower-growing ones (Elias & Potvin 2003, Malhi et al. 2004), we also used the convention of 50% carbon in dry biomass here.”
Tree allometry and improved estimation of carbon stocks and balance in tropical forests (2005, background): “It has traditionally been assumed that the carbon content of dry biomass of a tree was 50% (Brown and Lugo 1982; Roy et al. 2001; Malhi et al. 2004), however it should be emphasized that wood carbon fraction may exhibit some small across species variation (Elias and Potvin 2003).”
Branch xylem density variations across the Amazon Basin (2009, background): “…phylogenetic constrains, so does xylem function (Carlquist, 1975; Tyree and Ewers, 1991; Niklas, 1992; Gartner, 1995; Tyree and Zimmermann, 2002; Bass et al., 2004) and the quantity of stored carbon within this tissue Correspondence to:S.

Growth, productivity, aboveground biomass, and carbon sequestration of pure and mixed native tree plantations in the Caribbean lowlands of Costa Rica (2006, background): “In addition, some of these equations do not consider variations in wood specific gravity within species, locations, and within individuals of the same species due to specific growth conditions (Elias and Potvin, 2003; Baker et al., 2004).”
