Biotic plant–soil feedbacks across temporal scales (2013, unknown): “A trait-based approach or a ‘functional matrix’ approach (sensu Eviner & Chapin 2003) may prove useful for understanding temporal plant–soil feedback if traits can be related to mechanisms underlying plant–soil interactions.”
Ecophysiological determinants of plant performance under flooding: a comparative study of seven plant families (2006, background): “Relationships among functional traits can be elucidated through the combined analysis of multiple ecophysiological traits in a multiple species approach (Eviner & Chapin 2003).”
Plant traits, litter quality and decomposition in a Mediterranean old-field succession (2007, unknown): “Grime et al. 1997; Poorter and Garnier 1999; Wright et al. 2004), have been identified as key traits to scale-up from plant to ecosystem functioning (Lavorel and Garnier 2002; Eviner and Chapin 2003; Que ´tier et al. 2007).”
Effects of biological invasions on forest carbon sequestration (2010, background): “There is a rapidly growing literature linking species features (i.e. functional traits or characteristics) to ecosystem properties including C sequestration (e.g. Eviner, 2003; Dı́az et al., 2004, 2007; Shipley et al., 2006; De Deyn et al., 2008).”
Relative climatic, edaphic and management controls of plant functional trait signatures (2009, background): “…2006), fire (Lavorel & Garnier 2002), nitrogen cycling (van der Krift & Berendse 2001; Eviner & Chapin 2005), primary productivity (Lavorel & Garnier 2002; Vile et al. 2006) and multiple processes (Eviner & Chapin 2003; Dı́az et al. 2004; Garnier et al. 2004; Engelhardt 2006; Quétier et al. 2007).”
Why biodiversity is important to oceanography: potential roles of genetic, species, and trophic diversity in pelagic ecosystem processes (2006, background): “But this conclusion may be an artifact of the narrow focus on a single response variable: species influence many aspects of ecosystem functioning, and particular functions are often most strongly influenced by different species (Eviner & Chapin 2003).”
