EVOLUTIONARY PATTERNS AND BIOGEOCHEMICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF ANGIOSPERM ROOT TRAITS (2012, positive): “We model acidification of the rhizosphere as being ultimately controlled by the net primary production of vegetation, with the total influence of plants being dependent on the spatial extent of their rooting systems in soil (Taylor et al. 2011, 2012).”
Evidence for Adaptation to Fire Regimes in the Tropical Savannas of the Brazilian Cerrado (2012, background): “Stromberg CAE 2011 Evolution of grass and grassland ecosystems.”
Grit not grass: Concordant patterns of early origin of hypsodonty in Great Plains ungulates and Glires (2012, background): “…record of grass than either leaf fossils or pollen (Strömberg, 2011), has shown that open, grass dominated areas, and thus grass as a food resource, were present in the North American Great Plains region by ~22 Ma (Strömberg, 2004, 2005), and possibly as early as ~26 Ma (Strömberg, 2011).”
Evolution, Diversification, and Biogeography of Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) (2018, background): “Based on pollen fossils and phytoliths, Strömberg (2011) estimated that grasslands became abundant in western Eurasia, North America, and southern South America during the Eocene.”
Expansion of vegetated coastal ecosystems in the future Arctic (2014, background): “Ecosystems are in a state of flux, undergoing constant changes in response to shifting environmental conditions, as evidenced by long-term chronosequences of ecosystem change derived from paleoecological reconstructions (Buchaca et al., 2011; Roberts and Hamann, 2011; Stroemberg, 2011).”
Biodiversity-rich European grasslands: Ancient, forgotten ecosystems (2018, background): “2 Fire 239 The role of fire as one of the main drivers of the rise in grassy ecosystem during the Miocene 240 has been been advocated (Osborne and Behling, 2006; Strömberg, 2011) and confirmed by 241 fossil records from C4 dominated grasslands in Africa (Hoetzel et al.”
Fire and Drought: Soluble Carbohydrate Storage and Survival Mechanisms in Herbaceous Plants from the Cerrado (2016, background): “2013), similar to other open-habitat grasslands worldwide (Strömberg 2011).”
Looking forward through the past: identification of 50 priority research questions in palaeoecology (2014, neutral): “A classic example of this is the relationship between C3 and C4 plants from the Oligocene ( ~ 33 Ma); how this biotic interaction was in ﬂ uenced by changing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations and aridity is still poorly understood (Str € omberg 2011) [Q24].”
