Citations in the corpus

• The ‘hydrology’ of leaves: co‐ordination of structure and function in temperate woody species (2003, background): “Apparently across the study species there is a structural co-ordination of lamina thickness and Cft* via the thickness of cells that contribute to water mass per unit area (Shipley 1995; Lamont & Lamont 2000; Vendramini et al. 2002).”
• Co-variations in litter decomposition, leaf traits and plant growth in species from a Mediterranean old-field succession (2006, background): “1999), the ecological importance of which has been demonstrated in a number of studies (Wilson et al. 1999; Vendramini et al. 2002; Garnier et al. 2004).”
• Specific Leaf Area and Leaf Dry Matter Content of Plants Growing in Sand Dunes (2005, unknown): “…evaluated SLA and LDMC under both controlled and natural conditions involving various nutrient and water gradients (Cunningham et al., 1999; Garnier et al., 2001a), vegetation types (Poorter and de Jong, 1999), plant functional types (Garnier et al., 1997), and leaf types (Vendramini et al., 2002).”
• Leaf dry matter content is better at predicting above-ground net primary production than specific leaf area (2017, background): “LDMC has been 108 recommended as a more reliable correlate of soil fertility at least in biomes not subject to 109 severe water limitation (Vendramini et al. 2002).”
• A handbook of protocols for standardised and easy measurement of plant functional traits worldwide (2003, unknown): “…et al. (1999); Hodgson et al. (1999); Niinemets (1999, 2001); Poorter and Garnier (1999); Roderick et al. (1999); Ryser and Aeschlimann (1999); Wilson et al. (1999); Ryser and Urbas (2000); Garnier et al. (2001a); Shipley and Vu (2002); Vendramini et al. (2002); Wright and Westoby (2002).”
• From plant functional types to plant functional traits (2015, background): “Because of its clearer and more important ecological interpretation and wide application to different floras, SLA appears to be the best candidate in large databases (Vendramini et al., 2002; Wilson et al., 1999).”
