• Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “However, current evidence suggests that some but not all functional aspects may be conserved between regeneration and adult stages (e.g. Alvarez-Clare & Kitajima 2007; Butterfield & Briggs 2011).”
• Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis. (2009, background): “A high density can be caused by a large fraction of mesophyll, or a high proportion of lignified tissue, that may be important for leaf toughness, and thereby leaf and plant survival (Alvarez-Clare & Kitajima, 2007).”
• Ecological strategies begin at germination: Traits, plasticity and survival in the first 4 days of plant life (2020, background): “Still, these tradeoffs could have functional implications for performance in relation to other recruitment challenges, including freezing, herbivory, or hard soils (e.g., thick shoots for emergence ability, dense leaves for herbivory, Alvarez-Clare & Kitajima 2007; Gardarin et al. 2016).”
