We determined the consequences of systematic changes in nutrient availability during long—
term soil development by measuring foliar nutrient concentrations. Sun leaves of the …

African perennial C 4 grasses are highly successful invaders in Hawaiian ecosystems. We
examined the effects of African molasses grass (Melinis minutiflora Beauv.) on Hawaiian …

Leaf traits related to life-span and nutrient-use efficiency were studied in the dominant
Hawaiian tree species, Metrosideros polymorpha, at both ends of a natural fertility gradient …

Physiological traits that contribute to the establishment and spread of invasive plant species
could also have impacts on ecosystem processes. The traits prevalent in many invasive …

Why do forest productivity and biomass decline with elevation? To address this question,
research to date generally has focused on correlative approaches describing changes in …
