Co-variations in litter decomposition, leaf traits and plant growth in species from a Mediterranean old-field succession (2006, methodology): “Stems or twigs bearing healthy leaves were severed from a plant, rapidly wrapped in moist paper, placed in plastic bags and stored in a cool box until further processing in the laboratory (see Garnier et al . 2001 for methods).”
Plant traits, litter quality and decomposition in a Mediterranean old-field succession (2007, positive): “These traits were measured on green leaves of individuals sampled in the old-fields at the spring peak of growth, following standardized protocols (Garnier et al. 2001; Cornelissen et al. 2003).”
Root traits are multidimensional: specific root length is independent from root tissue density and the plant economic spectrum (2016, background): “SLA and LDMC are inversely correlated because plants cannot construct highly productive, longlived leaves (Garnier et al. 2001; Wright et al. 2004).”
How do traits vary across ecological scales? A case for trait-based ecology. (2010, result): “These results and the finding that the amount of within-species variation is comparable with interspecific variation support a shift of focus from species-based to trait-based ecology.”
Using functional traits to predict grassland ecosystem change: a mathematical test of the response‐and‐effect trait approach (2009, background): “Measured plant traits were vegetative height, leaf mass ratio, specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf drymatter content (LDMC) (methodologies see Garnier et al., 2001; Louault et al., 2005).”
Relative importance of transpiration rate and leaf morphological traits for the regulation of leaf temperature (2016, positive): “SLA and LDMC were calculated based on the protocol of Garnier et al. (2001) with one young fully expanded leaf per plant being assessed at the beginning and end of experiments.”
Growth, mortality, and morphological response of European beech and downy oak along a light gradient in sub-Mediterranean forest (2005, methodology): “For each sapling, we randomly selected 10 leaves to determine the specific leaf area (SLA) following a standardized protocol (Garnier et al. 2001).”

A trait-based approach to comparative functional plant ecology: concepts, methods and applications for agroecology. A review (2012, background): “…and growing conditions (Hendry and Grime 1993; Cornelissen et al. 2003b; Knevel et al. 2005) and (4) have a consistent ranking — not necessarily constant absolute values — across species when environmental conditions vary (Garnier et al. 2001a; Cornelissen et al. 2003a; Mokany and Ash 2008).”
Specific Leaf Area and Leaf Dry Matter Content of Plants Growing in Sand Dunes (2005, methodology): “Recent studies in controlled environments have demonstrated the important roles that these two traits play in explaining variation in potential relative growth rate (Poorter and Van der Werf, 1998) and ecological behavior in plants (Garnier et al., 2001a).”
Fluspect-B: a model for leaf fluorescence, reflectance and transmittance spectra. (2016, background): “The reliability of the destructive Cw and Cdm measurements is limited, as dry matter and water content are difficult to measure accurately in practice, due to the impact of sample preparation, rehydration procedure and time of collection (Garnier et al., 2001; Turner, 1981).”
Assessing the generality of global leaf trait relationships. (2005, background): “In recognition of this fact, there has been increased effort in recent times to encourage researchers to employ standard protocols (Garnier et al., 2001; Cornelissen et al., 2003).”

Intraspecific variability and trait‐based community assembly (2010, methodology): “Journal compilation 2010 British Ecological Society between species is larger than within species (Garnier et al. 2001a; Shipley 2007).”
Functional and phylogenetic assembly in a Chinese tropical tree community across size classes, spatial scales and habitats (2014, background): “Leaf dry matter content (LDMC) represents a trade-off between rapid assimilation and growth (Garnier et al. 2001; Cornelissen et al. 2003; Vaieretti et al. 2007).”
Indirect facilitation and competition in tree species colonization of sub-Mediterranean grasslands (2006, methodology): “The specific leaf area (SLA, definition in Table 1) was measured using a standardized protocol (Garnier et al. 2001), with an area meter (WinFolia scanner Régent™, Québec, Canada).”
Review of optical-based remote sensing for plant trait mapping (2013, background): “LDMC negatively correlates with SLA (Garnier et al., 2001; 493 Shipley and Vu, 2002; Vile et al., 2005) and both traits are related to plant growth rate and 494 leaf resistance to physical damage.”
