By means of meta‐analyses we determined how 70 traits related to plant anatomy,
morphology, chemistry, physiology, growth and reproduction are affected by daily light …

We quantified the biomass allocation patterns to leaves, stems and roots in vegetative
plants, and how this is influenced by the growth environment, plant size, evolutionary history …

[ES]: Tasas de crecimiento en especies leñosas: aspectos funcionales e implicaciones
ecológicas. Las distintas especies vegetales difieren notablemente en su capacidad de …

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

Here, we analysed a wide range of literature data on the leaf dry mass per unit area (LMA).
In nature, LMA varies more than 100‐fold among species. Part of this variation (c. 35%) can …

Variation in plant functional traits results from evolutionary and environmental drivers that
operate at a variety of different scales, which makes it a challenge to differentiate among …

We compared the leaf traits and plant performance of 53 co‐occurring tree species in a semi‐
evergreen tropical moist forest community. The species differed in all leaf traits analyzed …

1. Growth of seedlings of 15 rain-forest tree species was compared under controlled
conditions, at six different light levels (3, 6, 12, 25, 50 and 100% daylight). 2. Most plant …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Our knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information
available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a …
