Sampling Hubbell's neutral theory of biodiversity (2004, unknown): “E2,2: Kleidon & Mooney (2000) produced a model of plant growth with 13 linked functions describing productivity, respiration, energy allocation, etc. as functions of temperature, water and/or light availability.”
The state of plant population modelling in light of environmental change (2008, background): “…in ARTICLE IN PRESS F. Jeltsch et al. / Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics 9 (2008) 171–189 181 various kinds of models (e.g. growth and persistence of single species – Kleidon and Mooney, 2000; competition and population dynamics in a community – Pachepsky et al., 2001).”
Estimating global carbon uptake by lichens and bryophytes with a process-based model (2013, background): “Follows and Dutkiewicz (2011) apply this approach to marine ecosystems while Kleidon and Mooney (2000) use it to predict biodiversity patterns of terrestrial vegetation.”
Response of plant species richness and primary productivity in shrublands along a north–south gradient in Europe to seven years of experimental warming and drought: reductions in primary productivity in the heat and drought year of 2003 (2007, result): “On the other hand, our findings do agree with species and ecosystem changes in species composition observed in SP over the past 50 years of progressive warming and aridification (Peñuelas et al., 2001; Hodar et al., 2003; Peñuelas & Boada, 2003; Sanz-Elorza et al., 2003; Jump & Peñuelas, 2006).”
Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography. (2007, background): “Wiens & Donoghue (2004) note that range limits in many taxa correspond to climatic isoclines, suggesting that certain traits such as freezing tolerance present significant barriers to colonizing the temperate zone (see Kleidon & Mooney 2000; Fine 2001; Wiens et al. 2006).”
Scale and species richness: towards a general, hierarchical theory of species diversity (2001, background): “The emphasis on considering the water balance as well as the energy regime in modelling vegetation has of course been noted by other authors (e.g. Stephenson, 1990; Currie, 1991; Kleidon & Mooney, 2000).”
Beyond Gaia: Thermodynamics of Life and Earth System Functioning (2004, background): “These patterns in turn can be interpreted as a reflection of climatic constraints on plant functional diversity (Kleidon and Mooney, 2000), and therefore as geographic variations of the biotic degrees of freedom as discussed here.”
Functional diversity supports the physiological tolerance hypothesis for plant species richness along climatic gradients (2014, background): “Kleidon & Mooney (2000) linked this hypothesis explicitly to plant functional traits by simulating plant ‘species’ as random sets of functional traits related to water uptake and growth.”
Species Richness and Patterns of Invasion in Plants, Birds, and Fishes in the United States* (2006, background): “Native species densities were significantly positively correlated to precipitation and potential vegetation carbon storage, and significantly negatively correlated with elevation and distance to coast (Table 1). This is growing evidence that a few environmental factors may control species richness a”
Patterns of vascular plant diversity at continental to global scales (2007, methodology): “With a process-based modelling approach, Kleidon and Mooney (2000) tested the performance of a large number of theoretical plant functional types under different climates at a global scale.”
Chlorophyll fluorescence responses to temperature and water availability in two co-dominant Mediterr (2011, background): “In fact, increased temperatures and lower water availability have been already experienced in the last decades (Le Houérou, 1996; Piñol et al., 1998; De Luis et al., 2001; Peñuelas et al., 2002, 2005; Peñuelas and Boada, 2003).”
A comprehensive framework for global patterns in biodiversity (2004, background): “…to support individuals, hence species (the productivity hypothesis: Wright et al. 1993; Huston 1994; Mittelbach et al. 2001) or the physiological tolerance of organisms for low energy environments (the ambient energy hypothesis: Pianka 1966; Turner et al. 1987; Currie 1991; Kleidon & Mooney 2000).”
Next-generation dynamic global vegetation models: learning from community ecology. (2013, background): “Process-based vegetation models that explicitly consider tradeoffs between traits are, however, rare (Kleidon & Mooney, 2000; Marks & Lechowicz, 2006; Reu et al., 2011; Pavlick et al., 2012).”
Plant allometry, stoichiometry and the temperature-dependence of primary productivity (2005, background): “In particular, a better quantitative understanding of how community size structure and plant functional diversity vary along environmental gradients (Kleidon & Mooney, 2000; Lavorel & Garnier, 2002) would strengthen the predictive power of our approach.”
Forecasting Regional to Global Plant Migration in Response to Climate Change (2005, background): “New mechanistic models are being developed that simulate the spatial pattern of PFT diversity relative to climate and topography (Kleidon and Mooney 2000).”
