A synthesis of tree functional traits related to drought-induced mortality in forests across climatic zones (2017, background): “Russo et al. (2010) observed a negative correlation between mortality rate and maximum tree height – a species-level instead of individual-level trait – for woody species in New Zealand (Russo et al. 2010).”
Hydraulic conductivity traits predict growth rates and adult stature of 40 Asian tropical tree species better than wood density (2012, background): “…density is a complex trait and the same wood density can be achieved by various combinations of vessel diameter, vessel frequency and wood fibre traits (Zanne et al. 2010), each of these traits has different functional consequences for growth (Preston, Cornwell & DeNoyer 2006; Russo et al. 2010).”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “Evidence demonstrates a considerable degree of coordination of stem hydraulic properties with wood density (Sobrado 1986; Meinzer et al. 2008a, b; Chave et al. 2009; Poorter et al. 2010; Russo et al. 2010; Zanne et al. 2010; Markesteijn et al. 2011).”
Globally, functional traits are weak predictors of juvenile tree growth, and we do not know why (2015, background): “Though organ-specific functional traits are easily measured, they integrate many physiological processes, are intricately interrelated, and can be highly plastic (Russo et al. 2010; Paine et al. 2011; P erezHarguindeguy et al. 2013).”
Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Finally, the only two studies of which we are aware that directly correlated tree mortality rates to aspects of their hydraulic architecture under apparently typical field conditions found no significant correlations between the two (Poorter et al. 2010, Russo et al. 2010).”
