PERFORMANCE TRADE-OFFS AMONG TROPICAL TREE SEEDLINGS IN CONTRASTING MICROHABITATS (2005, background): “Sack and Grubb (2001, 2003) have suggested that any difference between species in the reaction norm of a fitness component along an ‘‘ecologically relevant’’ resource gradient (e.g., ‘‘crossovers’’ between species of the functions relating RGR to light) be considered evidence for a performance rank…”
Responses of temperate woody seedlings to shade and drought: do trade‐offs limit potential niche differentiation? (2004, background): “However, as plant size increases, absolute growth rates increase, and biomass partitioning patterns change; relative growth rates decline, and shade and drought tolerances may increase or decrease (Evans 1972, Walters et al. 1993, Cavender-Bares and Bazzaz 2000, Sack and Grubb 2001 ).”
Beyond the regeneration phase: differentiation of height–light trajectories among tropical tree species (2005, background): “Similarly, the influence of light partitioning might seem weak when only the seedling stage is considered, but might be stronger when crossovers in light requirements occur as species increase in size (Sack & Grubb 2001).”
Trade-offs in interspecific comparisons in plant ecology and how plants overcome proposed constraints (2016, background): “…at the establishment stage (Hubbell and Foster 1992; Kitajima 1994; Kobe 1999; Davies 2001), and will work alongside the negative relationship between growth rate in high light and growth rate in low light reviewed by Sack and Grubb (2001, 2003) but questioned by Kitajima and Bolker (2003).”
Determinants of whole‐plant light requirements in Bornean rain forest tree saplings (2007, background): “Both findings are in keeping with similar work by Sack & Grubb (2001) and contradict the hypothesis that the trade-off between high-light growth and low-light survival solely determines shade tolerance with little or no contribution of differential growth rates under low light.”
Community assembly and shifts in plant trait distributions across an environmental gradient in coastal California (2009, background): “…growth rate in different conditions (Coley 1988, Poorter 1999, Walters and Reich 1999, Bloor and Grubb 2003, Poorter and Bongers 2006), and trade-offs in performance (Sack and Grubb 2001) suggest that different leaf traits are optimal in different regeneration opportunities (sensu Grubb 1977).”
The controversy over traits conferring shade‐tolerance in trees: ontogenetic changes revisited (2006, background): “Because MA changes faster in shade-intolerant species, RGR is also likely to change faster, leading to RGR rank changes among woody species of contrasting shade tolerance (Sack & Grubb 2001, 2003).”
Seed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment (2005, background): “…of studies reporting fine-scale differences between tropical tree species in response to gradients of light in the shadehouse (Poorter 1999; Sack & Grubb 2001; Bloor & Grubb 2003) because these results may not be relevant to field situations where other factors, such as herbivores and…”
The functional morphology of juvenile plants tolerant of strong summer drought in shaded forest understories in southern Spain (2003, background): “Since SLA indicates the area for irradiance interception per unit mass, the relatively high initial SLA of seedlings is likely to benefit irradiance capture (Sack and Grubb 2001).”
