Leaf venation: structure, function, development, evolution, ecology and applications in the past, present and future
L Sack, C Scoffoni - New phytologist, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Remote sensing of plant functional types
Conceptually, plant functional types represent a classification scheme between species and
broad vegetation types. Historically, these were based on physiological, structural and/or …

Extinction at the end-Cretaceous and the origin of modern Neotropical rainforests
The end-Cretaceous event was catastrophic for terrestrial communities worldwide, yet its
long-lasting effect on tropical forests remains largely unknown. We quantified plant …

Physiological and structural tradeoffs underlying the leaf economics spectrum
The leaf economics spectrum (LES) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits
concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon …

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 …

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 …

Climate, soil and plant functional types as drivers of global fine‐root trait variation
Ecosystem functioning relies heavily on below‐ground processes, which are largely
regulated by plant fine‐roots and their functional traits. However, our knowledge of fine‐root …

A worldview of root traits: the influence of ancestry, growth form, climate and mycorrhizal association on the functional trait variation of fine‐root tissues in seed plants
Fine‐root traits play key roles in ecosystem processes, but the drivers of fine‐root trait
diversity remain poorly understood. The plant economic spectrum (PES) hypothesis predicts …

Scaling from traits to ecosystems: develo** a general trait driver theory via integrating trait-based and metabolic scaling theories
Aim: More powerful tests of biodiversity theories need to move beyond species richness and
explicitly focus on mechanisms generating diversity via trait composition. The rise of trait …
