The design and function of leaf venation are important to plant performance, with key
implications for the distribution and productivity of ecosystems, and applications in …

▪ 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 …

Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

Plants respond to resource stress by changing multiple aspects of their biomass allocation,
morphology, physiology and architecture. To date, we lack an integrated view of the relative …

Laboratory studies on artificial leaves suggest that leaf thermal dynamics are strongly
influenced by the two‐dimensional size and shape of leaves and associated boundary layer …

Premise of the Study We present the first plastome phylogeny encompassing all 77 monocot
families, estimate branch support, and infer monocot‐wide divergence times and rates of …

Plant Strategies, Vegetation Processes, and Ecosystem Properties, Second Edition, is a
thoroughly updated and comprehensive new edition of the very successful Plant Strategies …

Water must be transported long distances in tall plants, resulting in increasing hydraulic
resistance, which may place limitations on the maximum plant height (H max) in a given …

Plants are often subjected to periods of soil and atmospheric water deficit during their life
cycle. The frequency of such phenomena is likely to increase in the future even outside …

The Ecology of Natural Disturbance and Patch Dynamics brings together the findings and
ideas of researchers studying such varied systems as marine invertebrate communities; …
