Composition and Dynamics of Functional Groups of Trees During Tropical Forest Succession in Northeastern Costa Rica (2010, methodology): “…functional attributes or demographic rates provides insight into both applied and theoretical questions, such as selecting species for reforestation programs, assessing ecosystem services, and understanding community assembly processes in tropical forests (Diaz et al. 2007, Kraft et al. 2008).”
Understanding biodiversity-ecosystem service relationships in urban areas: A comprehensive literature review (2017, positive): “Less is known about animal traits (Lavorel 2013), and our review only found two studies that considered their impact on a service (isopod body mass and litter decomposition in one case, and flower visitor generality on pollination in the other) (Pieper & Weigmann 2008; Theodorou et al. 2017); the de”
Contrasting mass‐ratio vs. niche complementarity effects on litter C and N loss during decomposition along a regional climatic gradient (2017, methodology): “…complementarity’ hypothesis argues that it is the degree of trait variation within a community that matters most, as higher complementarity in resource use between species may promote a more efficient acquisition of resources, and hence higher productivity (Hooper & Dukes 2004; D ıaz et al. 2007).”

Linkages of plant traits to soil properties and the functioning of temperate grassland (2010, background): “One emerging approach aimed at gaining a more mechanistic understanding of how plant species affect ecosystem functioning is to study relationships of plant traits to ecosystem properties (Grime 2001; Lavorel & Garnier 2002; Chapin 2003; Diaz et al. 2007; De Deyn, Cornelissen & Bardgett 2008).”
Leaf dry matter content as a predictor of grassland litter decomposition: a test of the ‘mass ratio hypothesis’ (2011, background): “…traits drive ecosystem process and can be used to predict the rates of these processes (Vile et al. 2006) and that ecosystem functioning at a given point in time is chiefly determined by the trait values of the dominant species present (Díaz et al. 2007; Smith and Knapp 2003; Wardle et al. 1999).”
Seven Shortfalls that Beset Large-Scale Knowledge of Biodiversity (2015, background): “…and between (Roy & Foote 1997) species, but also the ecological function (or functions) that ensues as a result of each trait, how these functions are affected by interactions with other traits, and which traits act together as bundles to perform specific ecosystem functions (Dı́az et al. 2013).”
