The elemental stoichiometry of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems and its relationships with organismic lifestyle and ecosystem structure and function: a review and perspectives (2011, background): “…Vitousek 2008); among stress-tolerators, competitors and ruderal plant types (Willby et al. 2001; Güsewell 2004); among different herbaceous crops (Sadras 2006); between leguminous and nonleguminous trees (Powers and Tiffin 2010) and among different functional groups of trees (Ratnam et al. 2008).”
Distinct Leaf‐trait Syndromes of Evergreen and Deciduous Trees in a Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (2011, background): “Interestingly, the deciduous species in our study do tend to have higher values of SLA and water content and lower values of C:N than the deciduous species in the Powers and Tiffin (2010) study.”
Foliar elemental composition of European forest tree species associated with evolutionary traits and present environmental and competitive conditions (2015, background): “Other studies, however, have only found phylogenetic signals in foliar N when legumes were included (Powers & Tiffin, 2010).”
