The world‐wide 'fast–slow'plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto
PB Reich - Journal of ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) provides a useful framework for examining species
strategies as shaped by their evolutionary history. However, that spectrum, as originally …

Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better)
The subdiscipline of 'community phylogenetics' is rapidly growing and influencing thinking
regarding community assembly. In particular, phylogenetic dispersion of co‐occurring …

Monitoring plant functional diversity from space
The ability to view Earth's vegetation from space is a hallmark of the Space Age. Yet
decades of satellite measurements have provided relatively little insight into the immense …
