The Evolution of Plant Functional Variation: Traits, Spectra, and Strategies (2003, background): “High Narea may also maximize use of the typically high irradiance in such places (Cunningham et al. 1999; Roderick et al. 2000; Niinemets 2001).”
Functional leaf traits, plant communities and acclimation processes in relation to oxidative stress in trees: a critical overview (2008, background): “…field, LMA variations according to ecological gradients have been observed and described in different species: Bauer et al. (1997) and Bussotti et al. (2005b) in F. sylvatica; Roderick et al. (2000) in Eucalyptus sp. pl.; Bruschi et al. (2003) in Quercus petraea; Gratani et al. (2003) in Q. ilex.”
Within-stand and seasonal variations of specific leaf area in a clonal Eucalyptus plantation in the Republic of Congo (2010, unknown): “water availability (Medhurst et al., 1999; Roderick et al., 2000; Turner et al., 2008), a trendwe also observed at our study site: SLAs was lowest at the end of the dry season, and increased after the onset of the wet season.”
Strategy shifts in leaf physiology, structure and nutrient content between species of high‐ and low‐rainfall and high‐ and low‐nutrient habitats (2001, background): “Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 15, 423‐434 perennial plants of drier regions, based on their generally lower SLA (Cunningham et al. 1999; Maximov 1929; Mooney et al. 1978; Roderick, Berry & Noble 2000; Schulze et al. 1998; Specht & Specht 1989) and similar Nmass.”
Dry matter content as a measure of dry matter concentration in plants and their parts (2002, background): “Roderick and colleagues (Roderick et al., 1999a,b; Roderick, 2000; Roderick et al., 2000) have”
High leaf mass per area of related species assemblages may reflect low rainfall and carbon isotope discrimination rather than low phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations (2002, background): “With current interest in whether morphological responses to ‘stress’ are general or specific to the type of stress (Fonseca et al. 2000; Roderick et al. 2000), the relative responses of thickness in particular to water and nutrient gradients seems a worthy topic to pursue in more detail.”
Optimal stomatal control in relation to leaf area and nitrogen content (2002, unknown): “N/mass changes less, and is also seen in the plot by Roderick et al. (2000) .”
