Intraspecific competition in Fucus serratus and F. evanescens (Phaeophyceae: Fucales) germlings: effects of settlement density, nutrient concentration, and temperature (2004, unknown): “Reduced fertility levels have previously been shown to flatten self-thinning lines in dense stands of terrestrial plants (Morris 1999, 2002, 2003), which implies that mortality increases more per biomass unit accumulated as fertility levels decrease.”
Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, unknown): “1998; Rebele 2000; Morris 2003).”
Allocation, plasticity and allometry in plants (2004, background): “While measurable effects of soil nutrient level on the self-thinning trajectory have been documented (Morris 2003), they are relatively small compared to the effects on the speed of stand development.”
