Variability in population and community biomass in a grassland community affected by environmental productivity and diversity (2004, background): “the mathematically defined Liapunov stability and ecological concepts of stability (Harrison 1979) remains open to question (discussion in May’s book). In his seminal review of the diversity /stability relationship, Pimm (1984) showed that there are various meanings of stability and various measures”
A handbook of protocols for standardised and easy measurement of plant functional traits worldwide (2003, background): “References on theory and significance: Beard (1955); Jarvis (1975); Gaudet and Keddy (1988); Niinemets and Kull (1994); Niklas (1994); Gartner (1995); Givnish (1995); Westoby (1998); Gitay et al. (1999); Thomas and Bazzaz (1999); Reich (2000); Grime (2001).”
Effects of litter on seedling establishment in natural and semi‐natural grasslands: a meta‐analysis (2013, background): “Small seeds contain less reserve tissue to support this deficit, diminishing emergence below a litter layer (Westoby et al. 1996; Leishman et al. 2000; Grime 2001; Fenner & Thompson 2005).”
Grazing‐induced shifts in community functional composition and soil nutrient availability in Tibetan alpine meadows (2016, background): “Previous studies of grazing effects have focused on the importance of species turnover in changing community structure and ecosystem function (Grime 2001; D ıaz et al. 2004; Hooper et al. 2005).”
Soil seed banks in plant invasions: promoting species invasiveness and long-term impact on plant community dynamics. (2012, background): “…species that reproduce both sexually and asexually exhibit adaptive responses to stressful conditions, resulting in increased vegetative propagation at the expense of sexual reproduction (Salisbury 1942, Harper & Ogden 1970, D’Antonio 1993, Watkinson & Powell 1993, Grime 2001, Eckert 2002).”
Engineer pioneer plants respond to and affect geomorphic constraints similarly along water-terrestrial interfaces world-wide (2015, methodology): “117 Although BEs differ widely taxonomically around the world, comparable constraints 118 can lead to convergent patterns of adaptive traits developing across taxa, as implied 119 by the functional framework of adaptive CSR strategies proposed by Grime (2001).”
Multiple resources limit plant growth and function in a saline‐alkaline desert community (2005, background): “…well documented in systems dominated by fast-growing plants (Marschner 1995; Aerts & Chapin 2000), the magnitude of changes observed in allocation in this nutrient-poor environment were substantially greater than expected based on traditional life-history theory (Aerts & Chapin 2000; Grime 2001).”
Environmental hormesis, a fundamental non-monotonic biological phenomenon with implications in ecotoxicology and environmental safety (2018, background): “Therefore, hybrid larch followed a competitive strategy in relatively productive and undisturbed vegetation, whereas Japanese larch followed a stress-tolerant strategy (Grime, 1979).”
Linkages of plant traits to soil properties and the functioning of temperate grassland (2010, background): “One emerging approach aimed at gaining a more mechanistic understanding of how plant species affect ecosystem functioning is to study relationships of plant traits to ecosystem properties (Grime 2001; Lavorel & Garnier 2002; Chapin 2003; Diaz et al. 2007; De Deyn, Cornelissen & Bardgett 2008).”
Plant regeneration directs changes in grassland composition after extreme drought: a 13‐year study in southern Switzerland (2004, background): “Fast growing species may be expected to be more competitive under humid and less tolerant under dry conditions compared with slow growing species (Grime 2001).”
Soil resource availability shapes community trait structure in a species‐rich dipterocarp forest (2012, background): “Disturbance regime may also shape trait distribution patterns within soil types (Grime 2001).”
Phylogenetic diversity, trait diversity and niches: species assembly of ferns along a tropical elevational gradient (2011, background): “In this way, the diversity of characters is limited by the local niche space (Dı́az & Cabido, 2001; Grime, 2002; Lavorel & Garnier, 2002).”
