Ontogenetic shifts in plant ecological strategies (2018, result): “, 1998) and leaf size (Cornelissen, 1999; Givnish, 1987; Parkhurst & Loucks, 1972), has brought fresh perspectives that were not captured by previous trait analyses, offering an explanation for why the ontogenetic shifts occur, and allowing the processes reported here to be compared with other setti”
How resilient are northern hardwood forests to human disturbance? An evaluation using a plant functional group approach (2007, background): “Adaptations, such as foliage/stem form, phenology, or saprophytic nature, allow these plants to tolerate the deep summertime shade prevalent in the understory of sugar maple forests (�ollins, Dunne & �ickett, 1985; Givnish, 1987; Neufeld & Young, 200�).”
Environmental v. genetically driven variation in ecophysiological traits of Nothofagus pumilio from contrasting elevations (2007, background): “As such, these leaves also can be considered as sun leaves (Givnish 1987), a growth form that is also associated with thick leaves and increased photosynthesis rates per unit area (Boardman 1977).”
Differentiation of leaf water flux and drought tolerance traits in hemiepiphytic and non-hemiepiphytic Ficus tree species (2010, background): “Many classical and recent work has focused on the impor- tance of leaf traits in plant life history, including growth form (e.g. Givnish 1987; Reich et al. 2004; Waite & Sack *Correspondence author.”
Viewing leaf structure and evolution from a hydraulic perspective (2010, background): “A general trend of increased leaf size in plants grown under low light (Givnish 1987; Abrams and Kubiske 1990) suggests that the economic benefits of large leaf size for reducing the proportion of mechanical support costs (Westoby and Wright 2003; Niinemets et al. 2007a) become important in the…”
The roles of environmental filtering and colonization in the fine‐scale spatial patterning of ground‐layer plant communities in north temperate deciduous forests (2011, background): “mer, or evergreen-dimorphic (Givnish 1987); (iii) ability to reproduce vegetatively (clonality) and (iv) seed dispersal mechanism as ballistic, gravity ⁄ no obvious mechanism, ingested, myrmecochory, wind or”
Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Aside from determining the size of the light- capturing surface for photosynthesis, leaf area affects thermodynamics, water- use efficiency, plant architecture and biomechanics, and vulnerability to herbivory (Givnish, 1987; Niinemets, Portsmuth, & Tobias, 2006; Whitman & Aarssen, 2009; Zhang, Zhang”
Leaf Maximum Photosynthetic Rate and Venation Are Linked by Hydraulics1[W][OA] (2007, background): “…an enormous diversity of leaf structure; diversity that marks phylogenetic relations among clades and constrains the functional performance and climatic associations of plant species (Givnish, 1987; Wing and Greenwood, 1993; Smith et al., 1997; Osborne et al., 2004; Sack and Holbrook, 2006).”
Interspecific variation in functional traits, not climatic differences among species ranges, determines demographic rates across 44 temperate and Mediterranean tree species (2010, result): “The positive association between SLA and LA across species from a wide range of climates including dry sites is likely to be mediated by the convergence of species with low SLA and low LA in low rainfall areas (Givnish 1987; Ackerly et al. 2002), as suggested by our own results (Table 2), 0 0.”
A trait-based test for habitat filtering: convex hull volume. (2006, background): “The reduced boundary layer effect for smaller leaves may lower leaf temperatures on exceptionally hot days (Givnish 1987).”
Tradeoffs between functional strategies for resource-use and drought-survival in Mediterranean rangeland species (2013, background): “, water loss) and maintain turgor, photosynthetic activity and carbon gain over a longer period of time (Givnish, 1987; Lamont et al., 2002; Escudero et al., 2008).”
Leaf adaptations of evergreen and deciduous trees of semi‐arid and humid savannas on three continents (2013, background): “Secondly, semi-arid species had smaller LSs than humid species, which has been observed across water gradients in other systems (Givnish 1987; Westoby et al. 2002).”
Leaf Trait Diversification and Design in Seven Rare Taxa of the Hawaiian Plantago Radiation (2009, background): “…boundary layer and reduce overheating; higher LMA, associated with longer leaf life span; and higher stomatal pore area and higher midrib hydraulic conductivity, associated with higher gas exchange rates under high irradiance (Philpott 1956; Small 1972; Givnish 1978, 1987; Sack et al. 2003, 2005).”
