Poor acclimation to drought in subalpine forest tree seedlings
How do subalpine fir and Engelmann spruce seedlings respond to experimental drought when grown under field conditions?

Are a few, large seeds or many, small seeds a better strategy for a plant?
For the first time, estimates of comparative seed yield and number for over 800 annuals and their predictor equations have been produced and the ecological importance of these regenerative traits has been illustrated.
Corner’s rules hold up across the growing season
The relationship between twig cross-sectional area and leaf surface area varied little over the course of the season.

Why large leaved plants have wide piths
Start from here: SPL Theory links regenerative and life history strategies
The best chance of growing to maturity is to have the best start. A new theory connects seed and leaf size with phytomers to describe the relationship between regeneration and growth through a plant’s lifetime.

Fixed allocation patterns, rather than plasticity, benefit recruitment and recovery from drought in seedlings of a desert shrub
Biomechanics of rhizophores in Rhizophora mangroves
Rhizophora mangle supports a thinner stem of higher mechanical resistance when compared to Avicennia germinans, a co-existing mangrove lacking rhizophores.
Stem extension and mechanical stability in Xanthium
Tissue stiffness and strength play crucial roles in maintaining stability in herbaceous species that lack the capacity for secondary growth.
