Plant guilds drive biomass response to global warming and water availability in subalpine grassland (2006, background): “This was done to separate allocation responses as a result of changes in resources from size-dependent allometric effects (Müller, Schmid & Weiner 2000; Weiner 2004).”
Studying phenotypic plasticity: the advantages of a broad approach (2012, background): “Ontogeny and allometry are considered potentially confounding factors in phenotypic plasticity research (Gedroc, McConnaughay & Coleman, 1996; McConnaughay & Coleman, 1999; Weiner, 2004).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “Many questions of nutrient allocation in plants can be posed allo- metrically (Weiner, 2004): for instance, regardless of plant N”
Patterns of biomass allocation between foliage and woody structure: the effects of tree size and specific functional traits (2016, background): “…of size-related allocation patterns, the variance explained by tree diameter leaves much part of variation to be attributed to species-specific differences (Weiner 2004, McCarthy et al. 2007, Poorter et al. 2015), and / or environmental effects (McCarthy & Enquist 2007, Reich et al. 2014).”
The reciprocal relationship between competition and intraspecific trait variation (2016, background): “However, it should be noted that the relationship between changes in root allocation and competition may result from an allometric response to competition, with smaller individuals producing relatively fewer roots (Weiner 2004).”
Carbon input by roots into the soil: Quantification of rhizodeposition from root to ecosystem scale (2018, background): “Carbon partitioning vary with plant development stage (reflecting changing priorities), but also depends on species-specific strategies (Weiner, 2004), such as preferred allocation to belowground storage compounds (Kuzyakov & Domanski, 2000), protection against grazing (Schleuss et al., 2015) or…”
The allometry of reproductive biomass in response to land use in Tibetan alpine grasslands. (2009, background): “In natural vegetation, however, the relative importance of size-dependent vs. size-independent responses of RB remains largely unknown (Weiner 2004; Cheplick 2005).”
Plant structural traits and their role in anti-herbivore defence (2007, background): “These changes bring about the second set of age-related changes: the shifting demands in the functional priorities placed upon plant growth, herbivore resistance, and reproduction (Weiner, 2004; Boege and Maquis, 2005).”
Divergence among species and populations of Mediterranean pines in biomass allocation of seedlings grown under two watering regimes (2011, background): “However adjustments in biomass allocation also occur as a natural consequence of growth and development (ontogenetic drift sensu Evans [12]), reflecting a shift in plant priorities along an ontogenetic trajectory [50].”
Survival and reproduction of plant species in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (2014, background): “Different selection pressures and environmental constraints will result in different patterns of resource allocation reflecting evolved strategies of plants (Bonser & Aarssen, 2001; Weiner, 2004).”
Adaptive phenotypic plasticity and plant water use (2010, background): “Finally, a further question is whether plasticity in fitness determinants itself could be adaptive ( Weiner 2004 ).”
