On the link between functional traits and growth rate: meta‐analysis shows effects change with plant size, as predicted (2016, background): “Seed mass and maximum height capture information about reproductive strategy (Falster & Westoby 2005; Moles & Westoby 2006).”
Cross‐species patterns in the coordination between leaf and stem traits, and their implications for plant hydraulics (2006, methodology): “Vegetation type Soil P (ppm) Latitude, longitude Rainfall (mm year À1 ) MAT ( C) Sampling points References, number of species sampled Tropical rainforest Rainforest 16 06 0 S, 2800 24 10 mm 2 , 250 mm Falster and Westoby (subsites: Cape Tribulation, (complex mesophyll 145 27 0 E; (2005a, unpublishe”
Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees (2014, background): “…1999; Lines et al., 2012; Marshall et al., 2012), but also local edaphic factors (Aiba & Kitayama, 1999; Kempes et al., 2011), evolutionary and architectural constraints (King, 1990; Niklas, 1994; Falster & Westoby, 2005; Goodman et al., 2014), and competition for space (Henry & Aarssen, 1999).”
Flowering phenology and height growth pattern are associated with maximum plant height, relative growth rate and stem tissue mass density in herbaceous grassland species (2011, background): “Although different height growth strategies or trajectories have been reported for woody species (Falster & Westoby 2003, 2005a,b), little is known about height growth patterns and associated mechanisms in herbaceous species.”
