Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Evergreen species have lower LMA and shorter leaf life spans at higher temperatures, while deciduous species have higher LMA and longer leaf life spans at higher temperatures (Kikuzawa et al., 2013; Wright et al., 2005).”
Physiological and structural tradeoffs underlying the leaf economics spectrum. (2017, background): “…they are likely to have a longer income stream from investments in leaf tissue, compensating for their higher construction costs per unit leaf area (Chabot & Hicks, 1982; Mooney & Gulmon, 1982; Merino et al., 1984; Reich et al., 1991, 1997; Wright et al., 2004; Kikuzawa et al., 2013; Reich, 2014).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, unknown): “models to forecast macroecological patterns (Kikuzawa et al., 2013; Verheijen et al., 2012).”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “One explanation, supported by optimization modelling, is that evergreen species need to increase the longevity of their foliage to optimize C gain (and offset the construction costs) as the favourable season becomes a shorter fraction of the year (Kikuzawa et al. 2013).”
