Differences in growth patterns between co-occurring forest and savanna trees affect the forest-savanna boundary (2009, background): “The peak in LFA occurred in the middle of the dry season, as commonly found among trees in these Brazilian savannas (Franco et al. 2005; Lenza & Klink 2006), in the Australian savannas (Prior et al. 2004) and forests of dry regions (RojasJiménez et al. 2007).”
Shocks to the system: community assembly of the oak savanna in a 40-year fire frequency experiment (2012, background): “Abundance of species with thinner, desiccation-intolerant species would be expected to decline in abundance in favor of species with thicker, droughttolerant leaves (Westoby et al. 2002, Ackerly 2004, Franco et al. 2005).”
Ecology of Leaf Longevity (2011, background): “…is reasonably clear, some intermediate terms have arisen to describe peculiarities in leaf turnover that can lead to differing degrees of evergreenness (Sato and Sakai 1980; Eamus 1999; Eamus et al. 1999a; Eamus and Prior 2001; Franco et al. 2005; Saha et al. 2005; Negi 2006; Williams et al. 2008).”
