Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “For example, canopy leaf temperatures in a tropical forest in Indonesia were found to exceed ambient air temperature by 7°C [Ishida et al., 1999], which is typical under conditions of low wind and high solar irradiance [Harrison et al., 2010; Krause et al., 2010].”
Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation? (2014, unknown): “Temperature affects leaf energy balance (i.e. the balance of radiative heating and evaporative cooling, and boundary layer conductance; Lambers 1998; Harrison et al. 2010), metabolic rate (in a wide range of taxa, including plants; Gillooly et al. 2001) and plant growth rate (Went 1953; Rawson…”
Global quantification of contrasting leaf life span strategies for deciduous and evergreen species in response to environmental conditions (2012, background): “In this way, evergreen leaves amortize ongoing maintenance costs and low net carbon gains by persisting for several growing seasons (Wright et al., 2004; Ogaya & Peñuelas, 2007; Reich et al., 2007; Harrison et al., 2010).”
Changes in species composition, vegetation structure, and life forms along an altitudinal gradient of rupestrian grasslands in south-eastern Brazil (2017, background): “Accordng to Harrison et al. (2010), therophytes are usually dominant in ome of the driest and coldest environments on earth.”
From plant functional types to plant functional traits (2015, methodology): “A PFT classification based on bioclimatic response will need to be enhanced using information on FTs related to competition, successional dynamics and disturbance (Harrison et al., 2010).”
A trait-based approach to comparative functional plant ecology: concepts, methods and applications for agroecology. A review (2012, methodology): “Although most significant associations between traits and environmental factors have been obtained using a correlative approach, some of them appear robust enough among sites and vegetation types to form the basis of functional classifications for global-scale modelling (Lavorel et al. 2007; Harriso”
