    Relationships Among Ecologically Important Dimensions of Plant Trait Variation in Seven Neotropical Forests
    (Oxford University Press, 2006) Ian J. Wright; David D. Ackerly; Frans Bongers; Kyle E. Harms; Guillermo Ibarra‐Manríquez; Miguel Martínez‐Ramos; Susan J. Mazer; Helene C. Muller‐Landau; Horacio Paz; Nigel C. A. Pitman
    The dimensions represented by SLA, seed/fruit size and leaf size were essentially independent and thus conveyed largely independent information about plant strategies. To a lesser extent the same was true for plant height and WD. Our tentative explanation for negative WD-leaf size relationships, now also known from other habitats, is that the traits are indirectly linked via plant hydraulics.
