Functional traits, productivity and effects on nitrogen cycling of 33 grassland species (2002, background): “Yet, although much recent work has examined plasticity in root : shoot ratios ( Muller, Schmid & Weiner 2000; Reynolds & D’Antonio 1996), it is unknown whether high ratios are due to differences in the relative longevity of aboveand below-ground biomass or relative allocation of biomass below-groun”
Allocation, plasticity and allometry in plants (2004, background): “5; Müller et al. 2000; Cahill 2003).”
Root traits contributing to plant productivity under drought (2013, background): “Therefore, care must be taken to control for plant size and ontology, especially when assessed on young plants (Müller et al., 2000).”
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, background): “The problems arising from not considering ontogeny in studies of plasticity are exemplified by a comparative study of the response of 27 plant species to nutrient availability (Müller et al. 2000): different biomass ratios under different nutrient conditions represented points on simple allometric t”
Soil‐related habitat specialization in dipterocarp rain forest tree species in Borneo (2004, methodology): “…to the potential for size-dependent shifts in allocation patterns, analyses of covariance (s) were used to test for differences in the slope and intercept of the relationship between leaf mass and root mass among soils and light levels for each species (Müller et al. 2000; Shipley & Meziane 2002).”
The allometry of reproductive biomass in response to land use in Tibetan alpine grasslands. (2009, background): “Indeed, from a quantitative perspective, VB may account for many of the variations observed in RB when compared to the effects of environment (Müller et al. 2000; Weiner 2004).”
Lack of relationship between below‐ground competition and allocation to roots in 10 grassland species (2003, methodology): “…support for it in their study of 22 plant species, and suggest four reasons to explain the differing results: (i) greater statistical power; (ii) Muller et al. (2000) ran their study for 4 months vs. 35 days for Shipley & Meziane (2002); (iii) Shipley & Meziane (2002) used a more frequent, and…”
Consistency between an allometric approach and optimal partitioning theory in global patterns of plant biomass allocation (2007, methodology): “Although numerous studies have supported OPT, several recent studies have shown that changes in plant size may lead to variation in biomass allocation when root-to-shoot ratios are used (Coleman et al . 1994; Coleman & McConnaughay 1995; Bernacchi et al . 2000; Muller et al . 2000; Reich 2002).”
Divergence among species and populations of Mediterranean pines in biomass allocation of seedlings grown under two watering regimes (2011, methodology): “dramatically if ontogenetic changes in phenotypic expression are also taken into consideration [9, 19, 29 , 39, 46].”
Competition increasingly dominates the responsiveness of juvenile beech and spruce to elevated CO2 and/or O3 concentrations throughout two subsequent growing seasons (2005, methodology): “Shifts in biomass partitioning were identified by significantly different slopes and/or intercepts between treatments (Müller et al., 2000).”
Distribution of microbial- and root-derived phosphatase activities in the rhizosphere depending on P availability and C allocation – Coupling soil zymography with 14C imaging (2013, background): “albus did not experience P deficiency is supported by the finding that neither the above- and belowground biomass nor the 14C allocation in above- and belowground biomass (Table 1) were affected by P fertilization; since herbaceous plants usually allocate more C belowground when affected by nutrient”
Patterns of biomass allocation between foliage and woody structure: the effects of tree size and specific functional traits (2016, background): “Therefore, biomass allocation among plant organs is driven by above and belowground environmental conditions (Müller et al. 2000, Freschet et al. 2015), but plant size (Pino et al. 2002), ontogenic trends (Poorter et al. 2012, Xie et al. 2012), species competitive abilities (Ninkovic 2003,…”
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 ( Muller, Schmid & Weiner 2000; Weiner 2004).”
