A meta‐analysis of plant responses to light intensity for 70 traits ranging from molecules to whole plant performance
By means of meta‐analyses we determined how 70 traits related to plant anatomy,
morphology, chemistry, physiology, growth and reproduction are affected by daily light …

Global trends in phenotypic plasticity of plants
Predicting plastic responses is crucial to assess plant species potential to adapt to climate
change, but little is known about which factors drive the biogeographical patterns of …

Plant phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental factors
L Gratani - Advances in botany, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Allocation, morphology, physiology, architecture: The multiple facets of plant above‐and below‐ground responses to resource stress
GT Freschet, C Violle, MY Bourget… - New …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Plants respond to resource stress by changing multiple aspects of their biomass allocation,

Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta‐analysis
Here, we analysed a wide range of literature data on the leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA).
In nature, LMA varies more than 100‐fold among species. Part of this variation (c. 35%) can …

Plant ecological strategies: some leading dimensions of variation between species
▪ Abstract An important aim of plant ecology is to identify leading dimensions of ecological
variation among species and to understand the basis for them. Dimensions that can readily …

How do traits vary across ecological scales? A case for trait‐based ecology
Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 838–848 Abstract Despite the increasing importance of functional
traits for the study of plant ecology, we do not know how variation in a given trait changes …

Integrated plant phenotypic responses to contrasting above‐and below‐ground resources: key roles of specific leaf area and root mass fraction
GT Freschet, EM Swart, JHC Cornelissen - New Phytologist, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Plants adapt phenotypically to different conditions of light and nutrient supply, supposedly in
order to achieve colimitation of these resources. Their key variable of adjustment is the ratio …

Shade tolerance, a key plant feature of complex nature and consequences
F Valladares, Ü Niinemets - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2008 - annualreviews.org
Light gradients are ubiquitous in nature, so all plants are exposed to some degree of shade
during their lifetime. The minimum light required for survival, shade tolerance, is a crucial life …
