Water and nutrients alter herbaceous competitive effects on tree seedlings in a semi‐arid savanna (2009, background): “photosynthetic active leaves), which feeds back to faster relative growth rates ( Poorter & Nagel 2000 ), while trees allocate more biomass towards woody structure, which is carbon rich, but nutrient poor (Bond et al. 2003).”
Effect of light and nitrogen supply on internal C:N balance and control of root-to-shoot biomass allocation in grapevine (2007, background): “On the other hand, it has been pointed out by several authors that RS values usually vary over time or with development regardless of environmental conditions (Coleman et al., 1994; Poorter and Nagel, 2000 ).”
Alleviation of Summer Drought Boosts Establishment Success of Pinus sylvestris in a Mediterranean Mountain: An Experimental Approach (2005, background): “Allocation to roots, however, was affected neither by water supplementation nor by the microhabitat, despite the adaptive advantage of changing biomass allocation in response to drought (Turner and Kramer 1980; Poorter and Nagel 2000).”

A dynamic model for the combined effects of N, P and K fertilizers on yield and mineral composition; description and experimental test (2007, background): “Other interactions can be more complex; for example N-deficiency increases root/shoot ratio (Ericsson 1995; Poorter and Nagel 2000 ) which can increase P uptake relative to plant demand (Tinker and Nye 2000).”
Morphology and response of roots of pasture species to phosphorus and nitrogen nutrition (2006, positive): “Root mass fraction (RMF; fraction of root dry matter as a proportion of total plant dry matter) was calculated from root mass data (present paper) and shoot mass data (Hill et al., 2005), and was used in preference to root: shoot ratio (Poorter and Nagel, 2000).”
Phenotypic variation in growth and biomass distribution for two advanced-generation pedigrees of hybrid poplar (2005, background): “As a result, inferences are limited, and there is a need to examine growth and biomass distribution using a larger number of clones, preferably from structured pedigrees (Stettler and Bradshaw 1994), focusing not only on phenotypic variation among clones, but also on identifying loci responsible for”
Chlorophyll as a measure of plant health: agroecological aspects. (2014, result): “Poorter and Nagel (2000) came to similar results in their research.”
Is it boring to be a tree? Construction costs, chemical composition and payback time of high and low irradiance leaves (2005, background): “At the whole plant level, a shift in allocation occurs, with low-light plants investing more biomass in leaves and especially stems, and less in roots (Brouwer, 1963; Corré, 1983; Poorter and Nagel, 2000).”
Allocation, plasticity and allometry in plants (2004, background): “shoot:root ratio or reproductive effort (reproductive mass/total mass; Poorter & Nagel 2000 ).”
The effect of nutrient availability on biomass allocation patterns in 27 species of herbaceous plants (2000, background): “We looked at the allometric relationships between biomass compartments, not between compartments and total biomass, as some authors suggest (Poorter & Nagel 2000).”
Responses of temperate woody seedlings to shade and drought: do trade‐offs limit potential niche differentiation? (2004, methodology): “The plasticities of biomass allocation traits were calculated using quotients (Table 2), so that a greater quotient typically corresponded to larger plasticity, according to patterns found in previous work (Veneklaas and Poorter 1998, Poorter and Nagel 2000, Valladares et al. 2002).”
