Ecology of Leaf Longevity (2011, background): “Escudero and Mediavilla (2003) examined PNUE and nitrogen resorption in nine evergreen tree species from a Mediterranean climate.”
Plant phenology, leaf traits and leaf litterfall of contrasting life forms in the arid Patagonian Monte, Argentina (2008, background): “High production costs of dense leaves are often compensated by long leaf life span, allowing an extended activity period with a more prolonged use of N in the plant (Aerts 1996; Westoby et al. 2002; Wright et al. 2002; Escudero & Mediavilla 2003; Kikuzawa 2004).”
The Potential of a Chlorophyll Content SPAD Meter to Quantify Nutrient Stress in Foliar Tissue of Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), English Oak (Quercus robur), and European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) (2008, background): “…(Evans 1989), dark respiration (Anten et al. 2000), quantum yield (Hirose and Werger 1987), leaf extension (Gastal et al. 1992), mesophyll size (Körner 1989), leaf aging (Escudero and Mediavilla 2003), leaf lifespan (Hikosaka and Hirose 2000), and leaf chlorophyll concentration (Pons et al. 1994).”
Nutrient resorption of wetland graminoids is related to the type of nutrient limitation (2005, background): “Nutrient resorption from senescing leaves enables plants to reduce the losses of nutrients associated with leaf turnover (Bleecker 1998; Aerts & Chapin 2000; Escudero & Mediavilla 2003), but it also entails costs (Field 1983; Chapin, Schulze & Mooney 1990).”
Quantifying photosynthetic capacity and its relationship to leaf nitrogen content for global‐scale terrestrial biosphere models (2009, methodology): “Global TBMs usually employ a rather traditional formulation of the photosynthesis model, neglecting leaf CO2 transfer conductance (Ethier et al., 2006) and the decline of photosynthetic capacity with leaf age (Escudero & Mediavilla, 2003).”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “Despite the increased focus on plant functional traits and their effects on NR and nutrient cycling (Killingbeck and Tainsh, 2002; Escudero and Mediavilla, 2003; Wright and Westoby, 2003; Ordonez et al., 2009; Fujita et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2013), there has not been a critical review since Aerts”
