Environmental and developmental controls on specific leaf area are little modified by leaf allometry (2008, background): “This is, for the most part, consistent with previous literature, when available for the factor under study (e.g. Reich, Walters & Ellsworth 1991; Körner 1999; Cornelissen et al. 2003; Poorter et al. 2006).”
Leaf adaptations of evergreen and deciduous trees of semi‐arid and humid savannas on three continents (2013, background): “Leaf morphological traits were measured or estimated that are thought to affect water loss by tree crowns (Westoby et al. 2002; Cornelissen et al. 2003a,b; Poorter et al. 2009).”
Which trait dissimilarity for functional diversity: trait means or trait overlap? (2013, background): “For example the range of variation in height and seed mass described in Cornelissen et al. (2003) is 10 1 to 102 m and 10 3 to 107 mg respectively.”
TRY – a global database of plant traits (2011, background): “…common plant trait Thesaurus (Plant Trait Thesaurus: http://trait_ ontology.cefe.cnrs.fr:8080/Thesauform/), and a handbook and website (PrometheusWiki: http://prometheuswiki. publish.csiro.au/tiki-custom_home.php) of standard definitions and protocols (Cornelissen et al., 2003b; Sack et al., 2010).”
A trait-based approach to comparative functional plant ecology: concepts, methods and applications for agroecology. A review (2012, background): “…and growing conditions (Hendry and Grime 1993; Cornelissen et al. 2003b; Knevel et al. 2005) and (4) have a consistent ranking — not necessarily constant absolute values — across species when environmental conditions vary (Garnier et al. 2001a; Cornelissen et al. 2003a; Mokany and Ash 2008).”
Linking functional traits and demographic rates in a subtropical tree community: the importance of size dependency (2014, background): “1) stages for 43 species (for each stage, 1–12 trees per species) and measured leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf thickness and succulence according to Cornelissen et al. (2003).”
Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis. (2009, background): “Indeed, differences between laboratory and field were largest for tree seedlings grown at very low DPI compared with adult trees in the field (Cornelissen et al., 2003a), suggesting that use of higher light intensities in controlled experiments is required to realistically scale from the laboratory…”
