• Plasticity of morphological and physiological traits in response to different levels of irradiance in seedlings of silver fir (Abies alba Mill) (2003, result): “These results are similar to those published by a number of authors for many different species (Ellsworth and Reich 1992; Le Roux et al. 2001; Meir et al. 2002; Niinemets and Tenhunen 1997; Walters et al. 1993).”

• Quantitative trait loci controlling water use efficiency and related traits in Quercus robur L. (2008, background): “Strong relationships between leaf nitrogen and photosynthetic capacity have been shown, however, mainly on the inter-species levels (Niinemets 1999) or along light gradients (Meir et al. 2002).”

• Optimisation of photosynthetic carbon gain and within-canopy gradients of associated foliar traits for Amazon forest trees (2010, background): “…one regular observation in tree canopies is that vertical gradients in photosynthetic capacity are much less than that associated with the optimal distribution maximising individual plant carbon gain (e.g. Hollinger, 1996; Kull and Niinemets, 1998; Meir et al., 2002; Wright et al., 2006).”

• Canopy effects on vegetation caused by harvesting and regeneration treatments (2010, background): “However, understanding whole plant photosynthesis is complicated due to the pronounced spatial PAR differences (Meir et al. 2002).”
