Functional leaf traits, plant communities and acclimation processes in relation to oxidative stress in trees: a critical overview (2008, background): “Comparing some of the findings in the literature (Sala & Tenhunen, 1996; Zhang et al., 2001; Bombelli & Gratani, 2003; Gratani et al., 2003; Novak et al., 2005; Warren et al., 2007) with some of our unpublished findings, it appears that in Populus (ozone-sensitive clones) the PN/GW ratio ranges betw”
Ecological and evolutionary responses of Mediterranean plants to global change. (2014, unknown): “…turgor through the accumulation of solutes, complex antioxidant and photoprotective defense systems that minimize drought-induced cell damage and the ability to grow deep roots (Gulías et al., 2002; Gratani and Varone, 2004; Hernandez et al., 2004; Padilla and Pugnaire, 2007; Warren et al., 2007).”
Plasticity of leaf morphological traits, leaf nutrient content, and water capture in the Mediterranean evergreen oak Quercus ilex subsp. ballota in response to fertilization and changes in competitive conditions (2006, background): “However, natural ecotypes of Quercus ilex at drier sites have leaves with higher LMA than ecotypes at wetter sites, and the former develop greater water-use efficiency when both grow in dry conditions (Gratani et al., 2003).”
Phenotypic plasticity blurs ecotypic divergence in the response of Quercus coccifera and Pinus halepensis to water stress (2008, background): “This ecotypic diVerentiation was also observed in phenotypic features, in agreement with a number of reports of population diVerentiation for a wide range of physiological and structural parameters including plastic responses to environmental factors (Balaguer et al. 2001; Abrams 1994; Gratani et a”
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, methodology): “…expected to influence the target variable or trait Pp > Ps > Qp > Qr (a) Phenotypic Plasticity Index, based on maximum and minimum means (PIv) (Maximum mean-minimum mean)/maximum mean Valladares et al., 2000a,b, 2002a,b, 2005a,b; Balaguer et al., 2001; Gratani et al., 2003 Easy Assumes normality.”
