• Ecology of Leaf Longevity (2011, background): “If a species occurs in both sun and shade, leaf longevity is long in the shaded environment (Kikuzawa 1989; Sterck 1999; Reich et al. 2004).”
• Global quantification of contrasting leaf life span strategies for deciduous and evergreen species in response to environmental conditions (2012, background): “…species, despite some overlap in LLS among the two leaf habits, especially in (aseasonal) tropical rain forests where fast-growing evergreen pioneer species have a short LLS because they nearly continuously produce new leaves and senesce old ones (Kikuzawa, 1991; Reich et al., 1992, 2004).”
• Trade-offs in interspecific comparisons in plant ecology and how plants overcome proposed constraints (2016, background): “longer-lived (Coley 1983; Reich et al. 2004), have greater punch strength (Coley 1983) and greater fracture toughness (Dominy et al.”
• Mechanisms underlying global temperature-related patterns in leaf longevity (2013, background): “, 2004) and in plants persisting in shade (Coley & Aide, 1991; Osada et al., 2003; Reich et al., 2004; Onoda et al., 2011).”
• Tropical phenology: bi‐annual rhythms and interannual variation in an Afrotropical butterfly assemblage (2013, background): “…(Rathcke and Lacey 1985), has become an important field of study in tropical systems, addressing both species level phenomena, e.g., leaf phenology (Reich et al. 2004) or timing of reproduction in insects (Frederickson 2006) as well as community level events, e.g., changes in vegetation greenness…”
• TRY – a global database of plant traits (2011, background): “For some traits, e.g. leaf longevity, such data are only rarely available on single individuals (e.g. Reich et al., 2004), and data are expressed per species per site instead.”
