Recent studies have shown that accounting for intraspecific trait variation (ITV) may better
address major questions in community ecology. However, a general picture of the relative …

Plants are multifaceted organisms that have evolved numerous solutions to the problem of
establishing, growing and reproducing with limited resources. The intrinsic dimensionality of …

Root, stem and leaf traits are thought to be functionally coordinated to maximize the
efficiency of acquiring and using limited resources. However, evidence is mixed for …

Functional traits are expected to modulate plant competitive dynamics. However, how traits
and their plasticity in response to contrasting environments connect with the mechanisms …

Understanding how environmental factors drive plant community assembly remains a major
challenge in community ecology. The strength of different assembly processes along …

Despite widespread focus on interspecific variation in trait‐based ecology, there is growing
evidence that intraspecific trait variability can play a fundamental role in plant community …

The prominent new place of ecosystem services in environmental policy, land management
and land planning requires that the best ecological knowledge be applied to ecosystem …

摘要叶经济谱(leaf economics spectrum) 概念自提出以来, 已受到广泛关注.
它第一次在全球尺度上定量分析植物功能性状及其关系, 从而量化和概括权衡策略(trade-off) …

The consequences of global change for the maintenance of species diversity will depend on
the sum of each species responses to the environment and on the interactions among them …

Questions Is there any evidence of coordination among leaf, stem and root traits, and
thereby of the existence of a plant economics spectrum at the species and community level …
