Phenotypic plasticity in response to light in the coffee tree (2009, background): “Enhancement of light capture through high SLA and Chlmass led to a similar Chlarea, as reported for other tropical tree species (Rozendaal et al., 2006).”
Density, size and distribution of stomata in 35 rainforest tree species in Central Amazonia (2011, unknown): “The increase in SD with tree height is most likely related to an increase in crow exposure, as irradiance increases with plant stature (Rozendaal et al. 2006).”
Seedling root morphology and biomass allocation of 62 tropical tree species in relation to drought‐ and shade‐tolerance (2009, background): “In line with this assumption, functional shade-tolerance groups in both the moist and the dry forest differed in the mean juvenile CE of their species (Rozendaal et al. 2006; Markesteijn et al. 2007).”
Optimisation of photosynthetic carbon gain and within-canopy gradients of associated foliar traits for Amazon forest trees (2010, background): “They attributed this to the central role of Mg within the chlorophyll (Chl) complex (Shaul, 2002) with increased [Chl] DW for shaded leaves being a well documented phenomenon (Boardman, 1977; Bj̈orkman, 1981) – as generally seems to be also the case for tropical forest trees (Rozendaal et al., 2006)”
Within-canopy variation in photosynthetic capacity, SLA and foliar N in temperate broad-leaved trees with contrasting shade tolerance (2014, background): “However, it is generally assumed that overall plasticity is lower in shade-tolerant species (Valladares and Niinemets 2008) even though this is not fully supported by a number of studies with adult trees (e.g. Rozendaal et al. 2006; Sack et al. 2006).”
A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, unknown): “Previous studies have found that leaf size traits have limited plasticity and low ITV relative to the large interspecific variation among co-occurring species (Rozendaal et al. 2006).”
Assessing foliar chlorophyll contents with the SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter: a calibration test with thirteen tree species of tropical rainforest in French Guiana (2010, background): “the potential for differential SPAD-chlorophyll relationships among species because they include a broad gradient of leaf types with different anatomical and physiological properties (Coste et al., 2005; Rozendaal et al., 2006).”
