Biological stoichiometry of plant production: metabolism, scaling and ecological response to global change. (2010, background): “, 2007) Connections between BST and MST have been forged in a number of recent publications (Gillooly et al., 2002, 2005; Kerkhoff et al., 2005; Niklas et al., 2005; Jeysasingh, 2007; Allen & Gillooly, 2009).”
Divergent patterns of photosynthetic phosphorus‐use efficiency versus nitrogen‐use efficiency of tree leaves along nutrient‐availability gradients (2009, background): “Both foliar N and P concen- tration tightly correlate with each other (Niklas et al. 2005; Kerkhoff et al. 2006).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “Han et al., 2005; Kerkhoff et al., 2006; Niklas et al., 2005; Niklas, 2006; Reich and Oleksyn, 2004; Reich et al., 2010; Yuan and Chen, 2009), little is known about all the physiological mechanisms involved in the regulation of the nutrient to C balance, despite the growing recognition of an…”
A global study of relationships between leaf traits, climate and soil measures of nutrient fertility (2009, background): “…mg g –1 ), leaf phosphorus concentration per mass (LPCmass mg g –1 ) and leaf N:P. Leaf traits like SLA, LNC and LPC are positively related to plant relative growth rates, leaf carbon assimilation rates and energy supply (Lambers & Poorter, 1992; Lavorel & Garnier, 2002; Niklas et al. , 2005).”
Spatial patterns of leaf nutrient traits of the plants in the Loess Plateau of China (2007, background): “plant communities worldwide (Marschner 1995; Niklas et al. 2005).”
Tree growth changes with climate and forest type are associated with relative allocation of nutrients, especially phosphorus, to leaves and wood (2013, background): “These hypotheses consider that the N:P concentration ratio in leaves is also related to functions such as metabolism (respiration), storage or the investment and maintenance of structural organs (Ågren, 2004, 2008; Niklas et al., 2005; Reich et al., 2010).”
C:N:P stoichiometry of Artemisia species and close relatives across northern China: unravelling effects of climate, soil and taxonomy (2015, background): “2012) has led some ecologists to propose that phylogenetic considerations need to be included in the discussion of plant stoichiometry from an ecological to a biogeographic scale (Niklas et al. 2005; Agren 2008; Elser et al. 2010; Reich et al. 2010; Stock & Verboom 2012).”
Linkages of plant and soil C:N:P stoichiometry and their relationships to forest growth in subtropical plantations (2015, background): “, are related to the change from primary to secondary growth (Niklas et al. 2005).”
Allocation of foliar phosphorus fractions and leaf traits of tropical tree species in response to decreased soil phosphorus availability on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo (2011, background): “:P ratios are indeed associated with plant growth rates based on the GRH (Ågren 2004; Niklas & Cobb 2005; Niklas et al. 2005; Reef et al. 2010).”
