• The performance of Polylepis australis trees along their entire altitudinal range: implications of climate change for their conservation (2008, background): “At the upper limit, tree growth is in all likelihood primarily determined by low temperatures, limiting the investment possibilities of assimilates (Körner, 1999, 2003).”
• Growth and carbon relations of tree line forming conifers at constant vs. variable low temperatures (2009, background): “K thermal lapse rate per 100 m in the Alps, Körner 2003b).”
• Growth, carbon‐isotope discrimination, and drought‐associated mortality across a Pinus ponderosa elevational transect (2010, background): “(2) Water stress constraints on symplastic carbon metabolism could occur if cell expansion, divi sion, and carbohydrate use are limited by water poten tial (Körner, 2003; Alves & Setter, 2004; Woodruff et al., 2004; Ryan et al., 2006).”
• Where, why and how? Explaining the low‐temperature range limits of temperate tree species (2016, methodology): “While these limits are reasonably well understood (K€orner 2003a, 2011, 2012), the range limits of tree taxa that do not reach the alpine or arctic treeline (i.e. the majority of taxa) are largely unexplained.”
• Growth and phenology of mature temperate forest trees in elevated CO2 (2006, background): “Is there a potential for more growth, and perhaps more carbon storage, as a result of CO2-fertilization (Canadell & Pataki, 2002; Joos et al., 2002), or are mature trees already carbon saturated (Prentice et al., 2000; Körner, 2003a, b)?”
• The likely impact of elevated [CO2], nitrogen deposition, increased temperature and management on carbon sequestration in temperate and boreal forest ecosystems: a literature review. (2007, background): “…the stimulation by elevated [CO2] will persist over many decades, particularly if sink activity is limited by nutrient availability (Sigurdsson et al., 2001; Körner, 2003, 2006; van Groenigen et al., 2006), or if N is progressively sequestered in SOM and is no longer available (Luo et al., 2004).”
• The hydraulic limitation hypothesis revisited. (2006, background): “Increasing evidence suggests that trees, particularly mature or taller trees, are not limited by carbon supply (Körner 2003).”
