Grazing‐induced shifts in community functional composition and soil nutrient availability in Tibetan alpine meadows (2016, methodology): “This importance of intraspecific trait variability (ITV) in the functional response of the plant community to grazing is consistent with the expectation that high ITV can confer greater resistance to disturbance at the community level (Mouillot et al. 2013; Jung et al. 2014).”
Linking small-scale topography with microclimate, plant species diversity and intra-specific trait variation in an alpine landscape (2015, background): “…shift towards quantifying patterns of intra-specific trait variation, which have been shown to account for a large portion of community-wide trait diversity patterns (Albert et al. 2010, 2012; Jung et al. 2010, 2014; de Bello et al. 2011; Violle et al. 2012; Boucher et al. 2013; Sides et al. 2014).”
A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, unknown): “…to improve predictions of outcomes of species interactions (Kraft et al. 2014), community responses to spatial and temporal environmental gradients (Lepš et al. 2011; Kichenin et al. 2013; Jung et al. 2014), and ecosystem processes such as productivity and nutrient cycling (Breza et al. 2012).”
