Community structure and ecosystem processes often vary along elevational gradients. Their
responses to elevation are commonly driven by changes in temperature, and many …

Storage is a characteristic feature of most plants, particularly perennials, and the subject has
been thoroughly reviewed according to its chemistry and physiology (9, 40, 59, 80, 133 …

From the reviews of the 3rd edition:" The textbook of Walter Larcher (...) belongs certainly to
the most successful manuals that ever existed."(Photosynthetica, Czech Republic)"(...) it …

A global data set including 5,087 observations of leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for
1,280 plant species at 452 sites and of associated mean climate indices demonstrates broad …

Functional traits are increasingly used to investigate community structure, ecosystem
functioning or to classify species into functional groups. These functional traits are expected …

Convergence in interspecific leaf trait relationships across diverse taxonomic groups and
biomes would have important evolutionary and ecological implications. Such convergence …

We explored the relationship between leaf specific mass (LSM) and its two components, leaf
density and thickness. These were assessed on the leaves of (a) the moderately …

Stoichiometric relations in plants, with emphasis on C: N: P, are reviewed. Both theoretically
and empirically it is found for whole plants as well as for different tissues that nitrogen …

In an earlier paper we provided evidence that carbon isotope discrimination during
photosynthesis of terrestrial C3 plants decreases with altitude, and it was found that this was …

Photosynthetic capacity and its relationship to leaf nitrogen content are two of the most
sensitive parameters of terrestrial biosphere models (TBM) whose representation in global …
