Functional Traits and Trait-Mediated Interactions: Connecting Community-Level Interactions with Ecosystem Functioning (2015, background): “It also responds to the larger call to link evolutionary ecology to ecosystem functioning (Grime and Pierce, 2012; Holt, 1995; Loehle and Pechmann, 1988; Schmitz, 2010; Schmitz et al., 2008).”
Root nutrient concentration and biomass allocation are more plastic than morphological traits in response to nutrient limitation (2017, background): “Conifers often exhibit conservative life history strategies (Coomes et al. 2005; Grime and Pierce 2012), and therefore may be expected to exhibit a lesser degree of plasticity (Grassein et al.”
Functional classifications and their application in phytoplankton ecology (2015, background): “E-mail: nico.salmaso@fmach.it © 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd 603 Freshwater Biology (2015) 60, 603–619 doi:10.1111/fwb.12520 classifications have been widely used (K€orner, 1993) and progressively updated, leading to the development of new paradigms (Lavorel et al., 2007; Grime & Pierce, 2012).”
The intrinsic dimensionality of plant traits and its relevance to community assembly (2014, background): “Since the dawn of ecology, plants have been classified into functional groups (Grime & Pierce 2012).”
Ontogenetic shifts in plant ecological strategies (2018, background): “As less investment in one particular CSR component implies greater investment in another (Grime & Pierce, 2012), our results suggest a stronger habitat filtering in adulthood towards strategies of resource allocation towards competition and/or stress‐tolerance (Negreiros et al., 2014; Pierce et…”
A global method for calculating plant CSR ecological strategies applied across biomes world‐wide (2017, background): “The high diversity of tropical forests may also partly be related to specific, single traits operating during the life cycle, such as flowering and fruiting characters and symbioses (Grime & Pierce 2012).”
CSR analysis of plant functional types in highly diverse tropical grasslands of harsh environments (2014, background): “The representation of the categories of the CSR strategies using colors was performed by converting the C, S, and R coordinates into red, green, and blue, respectively, following Pierce et al. (2007).”
Linking plant strategies and plant traits derived by radiative transfer modelling (2017, background): “In a raised bog, stress tolerators for example buffer their metabolism against environmental levels and changes by stocking nutrients and carbohydrates in extensive storage parenchyma tissue, and thereby cannot invest as many resources directly in photosynthetic machinery (Grime & Pierce 2012).”
Community assembly along a soil depth gradient: contrasting patterns of plant trait convergence and divergence in a Mediterranean rangeland (2012, unknown): “…multiple traits may allow these views to be reconciled: traits related to the use of a limiting resource may show more convergent patterns, while other traits related to regeneration may show more divergent patterns (Weiher & Keddy 1995; Grime 2006; Swenson & Enquist 2009; Grime & Pierce 2012).”
Allocating CSR plant functional types: the use of leaf economics and size traits to classify woody and herbaceous vascular plants (2013, unknown): “…the main directions of adaptive specialization postulated by CSR theory have now received extensive empirical support from the trait variation evident in nature across national and continental scales (Grime et al. 1997; D ıaz et al. 2004; Cerabolini et al. 2010a; reviewed by Grime & Pierce 2012).”
