Climatic and soil factors explain the two-dimensional spectrum of global plant trait variation
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 …

Adjustments and coordination of hydraulic, leaf and stem traits along a water availability gradient
Trait variability in space and time allows plants to adjust to changing environmental
conditions. However, we know little about how this variability is distributed and coordinated …

The results of biodiversity–ecosystem functioning experiments are realistic
A large body of research shows that biodiversity loss can reduce ecosystem functioning.
However, much of the evidence for this relationship is drawn from biodiversity–ecosystem …

Trait variation and integration across scales: is the leaf economic spectrum present at local scales?
Trait‐based approaches have taken an increasingly dominant role in community ecology.
Although trait‐based strategy dimensions such as the leaf economic spectrum (LES) have …
