- Plant–soil feedback links negative distance dependence and light gradient partitioning during seedling establishment (2013, background): “…that enhance survival, such as defense against natural enemies (Coley et al. 1985, Coley and Barone 1996) and carbohydrate storage (Kobe 1997, Myers and Kitajima 2007), while shade-intolerant species tend to invest in traits that maximize growth (Herms and Mattson 1992, Reich et al. 1998).”
- Determinants of whole‐plant light requirements in Bornean rain forest tree saplings (2007, background): “Myers & Kitajima 2007 ), negative carbon balance is expected to result in eventual mortality.”
- Nonstructural carbon in woody plants. (2014, background): “NSC reserves are more likely to survive (59, 89) and observation of depleted NSC in stem wood of Pinus sylvestris L.”
- High‐dimensional coexistence based on individual variation: a synthesis of evidence (2010, background): “…many dimensions include carbon allocation con- straints to growth, storage, and reproduction (Reznik 1985, Obeso 2002, Würth et al. 2005, Myers and Kitajima 2007), interrelated constraints on leaf thick- ness, longevity and nitrogen content (Wright et al. 2004), and wood architecture…”
- Ecological limits to plant phenotypic plasticity. (2007, background): “Translocation to leaves of nonstructural carbohydrates stored in stems and roots allows plants to overcome the negative carbon balance imposed by deep shade or herbivory (Myers & Kitajima, 2007).”
- Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in terrestrial plants: a global synthesis (2016, background): “If confirmed, relatively high NSC levels in tropical species may indicate an adaptation to high levels of disturbance from herbivory (Coley and Barone 1996) and/or shade, consistent with previous results on saplings (Myers and Kitajima 2007, Poorter and Kitajima 2007, Poorter et al. 2010).”
- Foliar habit, tolerance to defoliation and their link to carbon and nitrogen storage (2014, background): “One of the main physiological mechanisms behind herbivory tolerance is the mobilization of stored C and nutrients (van der Meijden, Wijn & Verkaar 1988; Richards 1993; Tiffin 2000; Myers & Kitajima 2007; Palacio et al. 2008).”
- Physical defence traits enhance seedling survival of neotropical tree species (2007, background): “During these periods, for both seedlings and saplings, maintenance of carbohydrate reserves is important for survival in the shaded understorey where replacement of lost tissue is difficult due to limited net carbon gain ( Myers & Kitajima 2007; Poorter & Kitajima 2007).”
