[HTML][HTML] Robust leaf trait relationships across species under global environmental changes
Recent studies show coordinated relationships between plant leaf traits and their capacity to
predict ecosystem functions. However, how leaf traits will change within species and …

[HTML][HTML] Climatic and soil factors explain the two-dimensional spectrum of global plant trait variation
Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are
thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still …

Does the leaf economic spectrum hold within local species pools across varying environmental conditions?
JP Wright, A Sutton‐Grier - Functional Ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding patterns of trait variation across environmental variability is necessary for
development of ecological predictions. The leaf economic spectrum (LES) has demonstrated …

Intraspecific trait variation can weaken interspecific trait correlations when assessing the whole‐plant economic spectrum
The worldwide plant economic spectrum hypothesis predicts that leaf, stem, and root traits
are correlated across vascular plant species because carbon gain depends on leaves being …

Global trait–environment relationships of plant communities
Plant functional traits directly affect ecosystem functions. At the species level, trait
combinations depend on trade-offs representing different ecological strategies, but at the …
