Land-plant ecology on the basis of functional traits
The tissue traits and architectures of plant species are important for land-plant ecology in
two ways. First, they control ecosystem processes and define habitat and resources for other …

Are functional traits good predictors of demographic rates? Evidence from five neotropical forests
A central goal of comparative plant ecology is to understand how functional traits vary
among species and to what extent this variation has adaptive value. Here we evaluate …
