The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Ontogenetic shifts in plant ecological strategies (2018, background): “…habitat filtering in adulthood towards strategies of resource allocation towards competition and/or stress‐tolerance (Negreiros et al., 2014; Pierce et al., 2017), possibly due to the high costs imposed by reproduction activities in this later stage (Oñate & Munné‐Bosch, 2009; Thomas, 2011).”
Bark traits and life-history strategies of tropical dry- and moist forest trees (2014, background): “Alternatively, large trees invest carbon in other competing plant functions, such as reproduction (Thomas 2011), and thus can allocate less carbon to bark growth.”
Radial Variation in Wood Structure and Function in Woody Plants, and Hypotheses for Its Occurrence (2011, background): “Another twist to this type of study would be to study radial patterns in monocarpic vs. polycarpic species to ask if there is an effect of reproductive effort on the structure and function; the monocarpic species would have no reproductive effort until the end of their lives ( Thomas 2011 ).”
Using dynamic vegetation models to simulate plant range shifts (2014, background): “Plant reproductive effort is known to vary as a function of age and size (Thomas 2011) and environmental conditions (Ladeau and Clark 2006, Bykova et al.”
