Predicting species' range limits from functional traits for the tree flora of North America

U Stahl, B Reu, C Wirth - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2014 - pnas.org
Using functional traits to explain species' range limits is a promising approach in functional
biogeography. It replaces the idiosyncrasy of species-specific climate ranges with a generic …

Whole‐plant trait spectra of North American woody plant species reflect fundamental ecological strategies

U Stahl, J Kattge, B Reu, W Voigt, K Ogle, J Dickie… - …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The adaptation of plant species to their biotic and abiotic environment is manifested in their
traits. Suites of correlated functional traits may reflect fundamental tradeoffs and general …

Reversible jump MCMC for inference in a deterministic individual–based model of tree growth for studying forest dynamics

D Gemoets, J Barber, K Ogle - Environmetrics, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Scientists use deterministic models to study and forecast the behavior of complex
environmental processes, with increasing emphasis on incorporating data to inform model …

[PDF][PDF] Towards the determination of fundamental plant strategies and plant climate range limits by functional traits

U Stahl - 2014 - pure.mpg.de
It has long been known that plants differ in form and function (ie plants' functional traits)
which reflect their adaptation to the environment globally and locally. Thus, functional traits …
