Within-canopy variation in photosynthetic capacity, SLA and foliar N in temperate broad-leaved trees with contrasting shade tolerance (2014, methodology): “…that shade-tolerant species should have higher plasticity in traits important for light harvesting (such as SLA and chlorophyll:N ratio), while species adapted to high irradiance should have higher plasticity in leaf traits related to CO2 assimilation (such as Na) (Valladares et al. 2002).”
Effects of light acclimation on the photosynthesis, growth, and biomass allocation in American chestnut (Castanea dentata) seedlings (2006, result): “The significant differences in LAR found between irradiance levels indicated that the same amount of total biomass supported more leaf area with decreasing irradiance, which is consistent with other studies (e.g., Callaway, 1992; Gottschalk, 1994; Valladares et al., 2002).”
Plant Phenotypic Plasticity in Response to Environmental Factors (2014, background): “grow in forest understories [37, 82] by having an important role in resource acquisition [64, 86].”
Light Heterogeneity and Plants: from Ecophysiology to Species Coexistence and Biodiversity (2003, background): “The efficiency of foliage display and light capture was very similar among 24 contrasting species coexist ing in the dark understory of a tropical rainforest (Valladares et al. 2002b).”
A review of light interception in plant stands from leaf to canopy in different plant functional types and in species with varying shade tolerance (2010, result): “In contrast, other studies have found the opposite (Chen 1997; Delagrange et al. 2004; Niinemets and Kull 1998; Paz 2003; Valladares et al. 2002) or have not found clear-cut patterns (Paquette et al.”
Phenotypic plasticity blurs ecotypic divergence in the response of Quercus coccifera and Pinus halepensis to water stress (2008, background): “…plasticity found here in Q. coccifera and P. halepensis is in accordance with previous studies on Mediterranean species (Balaguer et al. 2001; Valladares et al. 2000a, 2002b) and also support the idea that specialization to adverse environments is linked to phenotypic stability and a…”
Growth, mortality, and morphological response of European beech and downy oak along a light gradient in sub-Mediterranean forest (2005, background): “They agree with recent studies (Millet et al. 1998; Valladares et al. 2002) stating that shade-tolerant species have a high morphological and architectural plasticity.”
Differences in plasticity between invasive and native plants from a low resource environment (2008, background): “In a series of studies, Valladares et al. (2000, 2002) found that shade-tolerant species have low physiological plasticity and high morphological plasticity, while the reverse is true for shade-intolerant species.”
Indirect facilitation and competition in tree species colonization of sub-Mediterranean grasslands (2006, background): “sylvatica in full light without herbs contradicts the hypothesis of limitation of its dynamics in open area by light inhibition (Valladares et al. 2002).”
Quantitative estimation of phenotypic plasticity: bridging the gap between the evolutionary concept and its ecological applications (2006, methodology): “…on the notion that the degree of phenotypic change across environments differs among species and traits, and that the amount of phenotypic change observed depends on the type of environments considered (Pemac & Tucic 1998; Valladares et al. 2002a,b, 2005a; West-Eberhard 2003; Bradshaw 2006).”
