The world‐wide 'fast–slow'plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto
PB Reich - Journal of ecology, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) provides a useful framework for examining species
strategies as shaped by their evolutionary history. However, that spectrum, as originally …

Disentangling the role of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance on rising forest water-use efficiency
Multiple lines of evidence suggest that plant water-use efficiency (WUE)—the ratio of carbon
assimilation to water loss—has increased in recent decades. Although rising atmospheric …
