C4 photosynthesis and the economic spectra of leaf and root traits independently influence growth rates in grasses by Simpson, Kimberley J., Bennett, Christopher, Atkinson, Rebecca R. L., Mockford, Emily J., McKenzie, Scott, Freckleton, Robert P., Thompson, Ken, Rees, Mark, Osborne, Colin P., Le Bagousse‐Pinguet, Yoann

“…Photosynthetic pathway is an important cause of growth rate variation between species such that the enhanced carbon uptake of C4 species leads to faster growth…”

A non-targeted metabolomics approach to quantifying differences in root storage between fast- and slow-growing plants by Atkinson, Rebecca R. L., Burrell, Mike M., Osborne, Colin P., Rose, Karen E., Rees, Mark

“…Life history theory posits that slower-growing species should invest proportionally more resources to storage, structural (e.g. stems) or defence traits than…”
