TL;DR: Leaf trait data were compiled for 258 Australian plant species from several habitat types dominated by woody perennials to form a spectrum of variation running from species with cheap but frequently replaced leaves to those with strategies more attuned to a nutrient-conserving lifestyle.
Growth and carbon partitioning of tropical tree seedlings in contrasting light environments.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the morphological and physiological factors influencing the growth rates of tropical tree seedlings with different ecological strategies, and use these data and additional information on physiological processes to model carbon balances for the average pioneer and shade-tolerant species in both a low and a high light environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and ecological significance of biomineralization in plants.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the functions of biomineralization in regulating cytoplasmic free calcium levels, detoxifying aluminum and heavy metals, light gathering and scattering to optimize photosynthesis, aiding in pollen release, germination, and tube growth, the roles it plays in herbivore deterrence, biogeochemical cycling of carbon, calcium, and silicon, and sequestering atmospheric CO2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Banksia species (Proteaceae) from severely phosphorus‐impoverished soils exhibit extreme efficiency in the use and re‐mobilization of phosphorus
TL;DR: It is concluded that Banksia species are highly efficient in their use of P, explaining, in part, their success on P-impoverished soils, with little variation between species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf water relations during summer water deficit: differential responses in turgor maintenance and variation in leaf structure among different plant communities in south-western Australia.
TL;DR: Specific leaf area varied greatly among species, and was significantly correlated with seasonal changes in Psi(TLP) and pre-dawn PSI(leaf), suggesting that leaf structure is a prerequisite for cellular mechanisms to be effective in adjusting to water deficit.
