Below‐ground frontiers in trait‐based plant ecology
E Laliberté - New Phytologist, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Trait‐based approaches have led to significant advances in plant ecology, but are currently
biased toward above‐ground traits. It is becoming clear that a stronger emphasis on below …

Root traits are multidimensional: specific root length is independent from root tissue density and the plant economic spectrum
KR Kramer‐Walter, PJ Bellingham, TR Millar… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

The coordination between leaf and fine root litter decomposition and the difference in their controlling factors
Aim As the two largest components of plant detritus input, leaf and root litter together
determine ecosystem vegetation turnover and nutrient cycling rates. However, the …
