• No effect of varying soil resource heterogeneity on plant species richness in a low fertility grassland (2007, background): “Using a much smaller 6.25-cm patch scale, Wijesinghe et al. (2005) also found no relationship between soil nutrient heterogeneity and diversity, although their objective was to impose heterogeneity at a scale over which individual plants could forage.”
• Games roots play: effects of soil volume and nutrients (2008, background): “Previous studies on root proliferation and soil volume (Gurevitch et al. 1990; McConnaughay & Bazzaz 1991; Xu et al. 2001; Wijesinghe et al. 2005; and others mentioned below) have been highly instructive, but they do not, nor were they intended to, test the model.”
• Root competition: beyond resource depletion (2006, background): “geneous soil (Wijesinghe et al. 2005).”
• Contrasting root behaviour in two grass species: a test of functionality in dynamic heterogeneous conditions (2011, background): “A high degree of selective root placement is generally expected to be particularly beneficial for growth in a soil with large, stable patches (Einsmann et al. 1999; Wijesinghe et al. 2005).”
• Performance of a clonal species in patchy environments: effects of environmental context on yield at local and whole-plant scales (2007, unknown): “Thus, heterogeneity is a potentially important determinant of the outcome of species interactions (e.g., Day et al. 2003) and of community composition (Hutchings et al. 2003; Wijesinghe et al. 2005).”
