Plant mineral nutrition in ancient landscapes: high plant species diversity on infertile soils is linked to functional diversity for nutritional strategies (2010, background): “There is a trend in plant ecology to emphasise global patterns in large data sets relating plant ecophysiological traits to climatic and latitudinal information (Reich and Oleksyn 2004; Wright et al. 2005, 2004). Whilst such global trends undoubtedly provide pivotal insight into the evolution of the”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “Assessed individ- ually, foliar N did not show a latitudinal trend (Elser et al., 2007, 2010; Reich and Oleksyn, 2004), unlike foliar P and foliar and litter N”
Land-plant ecology on the basis of functional traits. (2006, background): “Recently, it has become evident that there is a strong gradient of leaf N:P increasing with mean annual temperature and towards the tropics [ 11 ,12,63,64] (Figure 3a).”
Coordinated pattern of multi-element variability in leaves and roots across Chinese forest biomes (2016, background): “In contrast, MAT had a stronger effect on leaf P and root P and Al (R2 > 15%; Appendix S7).”
BHPMF – a hierarchical Bayesian approach to gap-filling and trait prediction for macroecology and functional biogeography (2015, background): “…also influenced by the environment which, on the one hand, causes large-scale patterns, for example latitudinal gradients of leaf N/P stoichiometry (Reich & Oleksyn, 2004) or changes in the competitive success of Drosophila species along a temperature gradient (Davis et al., 1998), and on the…”
Ecological Networks in a Changing Climate (2010, background): “Metabolism and rates of ecological processes are clearly inseparable from the stoichiometric requirements of organisms for biologically important elements such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and these may differ markedly between consumers and resources within a network (Allen and Gillooly, 2009”
Nutrient limitation and botanical diversity in wetlands: can fertilisation raise species richness? (2005, background): “In temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, P limitation has been relatively rare at an evolutionary time scale (Vitousek and Howarth 1991, Reich and Oleksyn 2004), so that there was less opportunity for diversification among species adapted to P limitation.”
Leaf nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry across 753 terrestrial plant species in China. (2005, methodology): “The geometric mean leaf P was 1.21 mg g−1 for China’s flora, 15% lower than the value reported by Reich & Oleksyn (2004) and 23% lower than that reported by Elser et al. (2000b) (Table 3).”
The Functional Significance of Ribosomal (r)DNA Variation: Impacts on the Evolutionary Ecology of Organisms (2005, background): “…as one moves to high latitudes (Conover & Schultz 1995), suggesting that arctic biota should be more P-rich than those in temperate and tropical regions, a pattern documented in recent studies of vascular plants (McGroddy et al. 2004, Reich & Oleksyn 2004) and in Daphnia (Elser et al. 2000a).”
Patterns and Mechanisms of Nutrient Resorption in Plants (2015, background): “A positive relationship exists between latitude and N and P resorption, as well as latitude and leaf N and P (Oleksyn et al., 2003; Reich and Oleksyn, 2004).”
Soil organic matter availability and climate drive latitudinal patterns in bacterial diversity from tropical to cold temperate forests (2018, background): “Temperature or precipitation might also indirectly affect bacterial communities by mediating other environmental factors, including plant leaf N content (Reich & Oleksyn, 2004) or nutrient availability (Cross, Hood, Benstead, Huryn, & Nelson, 2015).”
From plant functional types to plant functional traits (2015, background): “For example, leaf nitrogen and phosphorus decrease and their ratio (N:P) increases with increasing environmental temperature (Reich and Oleksyn, 2004).”
The Multidimensional Stoichiometric Niche (2017, background): “Stoichiometric traits, have been measured for a large number of very different species: primary producers (Reich and Oleksyn, 2004; Peñuelas et al., 2008, 2010; Reich, 2014), phytoplankton (Klausmeier et al., 2004; Litchman and Klausmeier, 2008; Quigg et al., 2011), microorganisms (Mouginot et al.,…”
