Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis. (2009, background): “Light intensity may play a role in shifting the balance between the importance of the different growth parameters, with variation in LMA becoming less important in explaining variation in RGR when daily irradiance increases (Poorter, 1999; Shipley, 2006).”
Plants on Plants – The Biology of Vascular Epiphytes (2016, background): “2008), others identify NAR as generally more important (Shipley 2006).”
Intra‐ and inter‐sexual competition of Populus cathayana under different watering regimes (2014, background): “Some studies have demonstrated that SLA, Pmax, Pn and PNUE are positively correlated with plant growth rate and biomass accumulation (Lambers & Poorter 1992; Pattison, Goldstein & Ares 1998; Poorter & Evans 1998; Shipley 2006; Feng et al. 2009).”
Dynamics of seedling growth acclimation towards altered light conditions can be quantified via GROWSCREEN: a setup and procedure designed for rapid optical phenotyping of different plant species. (2007, background): “that daily quantum input and assimilation rate largely determine plant RGR (Kruger & Volin, 2006; Shipley, 2006).”
Do plant traits retrieved from a database accurately predict on‐site measurements? (2013, background): “SLA is tightly correlated with photosynthetic capacity and leaf life span (Ryser & Urbas 2000; Wright et al. 2004; Shipley 2006).”
On the link between functional traits and growth rate: meta‐analysis shows effects change with plant size, as predicted (2016, background): “2002), community composition (Lavorel & Garnier 2002; Shipley 2006), global vegetation dynamics (Scheiter, Langan & Higgins 2013) and ecosystem processes (Lavorel & Garnier 2002).”
A Basis for Relative Growth Rate Differences Between Native and Invasive Forb Seedlings (2007, methodology): “Later experiments and recent meta-analysis attribute these differences to variation in NAR, not LAR or SLA (Villar et al. 2005; Shipley 2006).”
Growth, biomass allocation, morphology, and photosynthesis of invasive Eupatoriumadenophorum and its native congeners grown at four irradiances (2009, background): “It is also an important component of LAR, which is one of the determinants of RGR, especially at low irradiance ( Shipley 2006; Feng et al. 2007b).”
Differential responses of plant functional trait to grazing between two contrasting dominant C3 and C4 species in a typical steppe of Inner Mongolia, China (2011, background): “This is because leaf Pn is closely related to plant photosynthetic capacity and relative growth rate (Field and Mooney 1986; Shipley 2002, 2006), and plant stature and leaf size are directly associated with light interception for photosynthesis (Milla and Reich 2007; Poorter and Rozendaal 2008).”
