• TRY – a global database of plant traits (2011, methodology): “Plant trait data have been used for the estimation of parameter values in vegetation models, but only in a few cases based on systematic analyses of trait spectra (White et al., 2000; Kattge et al., 2009; Wirth & Lichstein, 2009; Ziehn et al., 2011).”
• Basin-wide variations in foliar properties of Amazonian forest: phylogeny, soils and climate. (2009, background): “Similarly, Kattge et al. (2009) examined photosynthesis versus nitrogen relationships for tropical trees also finding distinctions between fertile ( " oxisol " ) versus infertile ( " non-oxisol " ) soils.”
• Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation? (2014, neutral): “…van Bodegom et al. (2008); Baker et al. (2009); Cornwell & Ackerly (2009); Craine et al. (2009); Fortunel et al. (2009); Fyllas et al. (2009); Kattge et al. (2009); Moles et al. (2009); Pakeman et al. (2009); Pati~ no et al. (2009); Poorter et al. (2009); Poorter (2009); Reich et al. (2009);…”
• Leaf chlorophyll content as a proxy for leaf photosynthetic capacity (2017, methodology): “Thus far, most interest has focused on NLeaf (Kattge et al., 2009), because nitrogen is a major constituent of RuBisCo and the lightharvesting complexes that also modulate photosynthesis (Niinemets & Tenhunen, 1997).”
• Smaller, faster stomata: scaling of stomatal size, rate of response, and stomatal conductance (2013, background): “…plant functional groups there is a strong positive correlation between gop, the operating rate of photosynthesis, A, and photosynthetic capacity (maximum rate of carboxylation, Vcmax, and light-saturated rate of electron transport, Jmax) (Wullschleger, 1993; Kattge et  al., 2009; Cernusak, 2011).”
