Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Climate change is altering the availability of resources and the conditions that are crucial to
plant performance. One way plants will respond to these changes is through …

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 …

Earth is home to a remarkable diversity of plant forms and life histories, yet comparatively
few essential trait combinations have proved evolutionarily viable in today's terrestrial …

Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally
consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions,,, but how these effects scale up …

Ecological Models and Data in R is the first truly practical introduction to modern statistical
methods for ecology. In step-by-step detail, the book teaches ecology graduate students and …

Plant traits–the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants and their organs–determine how primary producers respond to …

Forest dieback caused by drought‐induced tree mortality has been observed world‐wide.
Forecasting which trees in which locations are vulnerable to drought‐induced mortality is …

Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of
which one major function is to replace water lost to transpiration. The leaf hydraulic …

Leaf shrinkage with dehydration has attracted attention for over 100 years, especially as it
becomes visibly extreme during drought. However, little has been known of its correlation …
