Why functional ecology should consider all plant organs: An allocation-based perspective (2015, methodology): “To include the constraints of body size, cCarthy and Enquist (2007) recently proposed the alloetric biomass partitioning theory.”
Biological constraints on water transport in the soil–plant–atmosphere system (2013, background): “The hypothesis of balanced development has spawned several models of biomass allocation and growth [159–161].”
The allometry of reproductive biomass in response to land use in Tibetan alpine grasslands. (2009, background): “Recently, there has been a renewed interest in using allometric approaches to study plant functional traits in relation to environmental gradients (McCarthy & Enquist 2007).”
Patterns of biomass allocation between foliage and woody structure: the effects of tree size and specific functional traits (2016, background): “…of size-related allocation patterns, the variance explained by tree diameter leaves much part of variation to be attributed to species-specific differences (Weiner 2004, McCarthy et al. 2007, Poorter et al. 2015), and / or environmental effects (McCarthy & Enquist 2007, Reich et al. 2014).”
