• Trait convergence and trait divergence in herbaceous plant communities: Mechanisms and consequences (2006, background): “In a recent paper (Grime 2002) it has been argued that the random deletions of species often applied in diversity/ecosystem functioning experiments do not resemble the functional shifts in species composition and ecosystem properties that are the main processes by which the biosphere is changing…”
• Phenotypic plasticity of vegetative and reproductive traits in monoecious and dioecious populations of Sagittaria latifolia (Alismataceae): a clonal aquatic plant (2004, background): “Because of these contrasting life-history strategies, we predicted that populations of the two sexual systems would respond to variation in environmental conditions in different ways (see Grime et al . 1986; Grime & Mackey 2002 ).”
• Ecological limits to plant phenotypic plasticity. (2007, background): “Analogously, plasticity of understory plants in response to light has been found to be low in tropical, shade-tolerant, woody species (Valladares et al., 2000), in agreement with a stress-tolerance strategy (Grime & Mackey, 2002).”
• Ecological strategies begin at germination: Traits, plasticity and survival in the first 4 days of plant life (2020, background): “While these responses could be beneficial adaptations under drought and part of species' larger ecological strategies (Grime & Mackey 2002), they could also result from physical constraints or slowed development (i.e. passive plasticity; Wright & Mcconnaughay 2002).”
• Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, background): “After many decades of studies on the phenotypic plasticity of plants, we know more of its potential ecological and evolutionary implications than of its real extent in plants from different habitats, of different growth forms and from different phylogenetic groups ( Grime & Mackey 2002; Gratani et ”
