Climate and soil nutrients differentially drive multidimensional fine root traits in ectomycorrhizal‐dominated alpine coniferous forests (2020, background): “…root trait covariation, first- and second-order roots, root trait multidimensionality, root-adaptive strategies, soil nutrients and have attributed such decoupling to plant adaptation to different selection pressures, that is, light versus water (Ackerly, 2004; Li et al., 2015; Sack et al., 2014).”
Trait Evolution, Community Assembly, and the Phylogenetic Structure of Ecological Communities (2007, background): “For example, in the California chaparral, several plant species from distantly related clades in the Rosales and Ericales co-occur and share many similar trait values related to drought and disturbance (Ackerly 2004).”
Leaf adaptations of evergreen and deciduous trees of semi‐arid and humid savannas on three continents (2013, background): “…water sources (Schenk & Jackson 2002; Tomlinson et al. 2012), stem traits that minimise risk of vessel cavitation and impairment of water transport (Ackerly 2004; Kursar et al. 2009; Markesteijn et al. 2011) and leaf traits that reduce water loss (Westoby et al. 2002; Wright, Westoby & Reich 2002;…”
Trade-off between root nitrogen acquisition and shoot nitrogen utilization across 13 co-occurring pasture grass species (2009, background): “1997; Ackerly 2004; Gross et al. 2007a).”
Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events (2014, background): “We focus on four key functional leaf traits known to be related to species water-use strategy (Wright, Reich & Westoby 2001; Chaves et al. 2002; Ackerly 2004; Weih et al. 2011): specific leaf area, leaf dry matter content, leaf nitrogen concentration and leaf carbon concentration.”
Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Similarly, while there is some evidence that wood density is negatively related to leaf size (Tozer, Rice, & Westoby, 2015; Wright et al., 2007), other studies show no significant relationship (Ackerly, 2004; Baraloto et al., 2010).”
A trait-based approach to comparative functional plant ecology: concepts, methods and applications for agroecology. A review (2012, background): “For example, to understand vegetation response to disturbance (McIntyre et al. 1999; Weiher et al. 1999), land use change (Garnier et al. 2007) or water availability (Ackerly 2004), traits relevant to the particular environmental variable under investigation should be measured.”
Sprouting ability across diverse disturbances and vegetation types worldwide (2004, background): “The question of whether functional variation across species should best be represented as a continuum or as categories is of interest for many traits other than sprouting (e.g. Prior et al. 2003; Ackerly 2004).”
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biology. (2009, background): “3) (e.g. Brooks & McLennan 1991; Losos et al. 1998a; Ackerly 2004; Gillespie 2004; Pennington et al. 2006; Givnish et al. 2008).”
Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, methodology): “Additional theoretical (Ackerly 2003) and empirical (Ackerly 2004a) work has also analysed the role of phenotypic plasticity, ecological traits and environmental gradients.”
A trait-based test for habitat filtering: convex hull volume. (2006, methodology): “Wood density has been shown to correlate with resistance to embolism (Hacke et al. 2001) and to be part of a suite of traits related to water relations and minimum seasonal water potential (Ackerly 2004).”
Phylogenetic community structure in Minnesota oak savanna is influenced by spatial extent and environmental variation (2009, background): “…161 rosid 121 Poaceae 12 Poales 72 Rhamnaceae 55 Rosaceae 47 Solanaceae 41 Polygonaceae 28 Cyperaceae 16 Myrtales 88 Salicaceae 20 Sapindales 61 Fabaceae 56 Rosales 76 Polemoniaceae 35 Ericaceae 12 Ericales 100 Boraginaceae 59 Liliaceae 48 seedplant 325 euphyllophyte 400 Ranunculaceae 65”
Early root growth plasticity in seedlings of three Mediterranean woody species (2007, unknown): “Species-specific drought tolerance, however, is a main factor for seedling survival in drying soils (Ackerly 2004), and Davis (1989) and Hasting et al. (1989) found in the California chaparral that seedlings of droughttolerant species, usually shallow-rooted, survived water shortage better than…”
CAVITATION RESISTANCE AMONG 26 CHAPARRAL SPECIES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (2007, background): “…functional xylem in order to sustain water transport to evergreen leaves throughout the dry summer months, when limited water availability results in the occurrence of extreme negative pressures in the stem xylem (Schlesinger et al. 1982, Williams et al. 1997, Davis et al. 2002, Ackerly 2004).”
A hyper‐arid environment shapes an inverse pattern of the fast–slow plant economics spectrum for above‐, but not below‐ground resource acquisition strategies (2018, background): “Conversely, the lack of coordination suggests that above- and below-ground traits represent different ecological strategies that promote independent axes of niche differentiation for plant organs (Ackerly, 2004; Ackerly & Cornwell, 2007).”
Xylem density, biomechanics and anatomical traits correlate with water stress in 17 evergreen shrub species of the Mediterranean‐type climate region of South Africa (2007, background): “on bulk xylem tissues and stems, such as density and MOR, and Pmin appear more consistent between California and South Africa than measurements made on cellular properties (Hacke et al. 2001; Ackerly 2004; Jacobsen et al. 2005).”
