Scaling from traits to ecosystems: developing a general trait driver theory via integrating trait-based and metabolic scaling theories
Aim: More powerful tests of biodiversity theories need to move beyond species richness and
explicitly focus on mechanisms generating diversity via trait composition. The rise of trait …

Convergence of terrestrial plant production across global climate gradients
Variation in terrestrial net primary production (NPP) with climate is thought to originate from
a direct influence of temperature and precipitation on plant metabolism. However, variation …
