Grazing‐induced shifts in community functional composition and soil nutrient availability in Tibetan alpine meadows (2016, background): “…trade-offs among these LES traits in response to environmental regimes at both the species level (Shipley et al. 2006; Reich 2014) and the community level (P erez-Ramos et al. 2012; Prieto et al. 2015) with consequences for the delivery of multiple ecosystem services (Lavorel & Grigulis 2012).”
Trait selection and community weighting are key to understanding ecosystem responses to changing precipitation regimes (2018, background): “Recent evidence suggests that an economic trait spectrum describing plant strategies for acquiring light, nutrients and water exists for both stems and roots, not just leaves (Prieto et al., 2015; Reich, 2014).”
Climate and soil nutrients differentially drive multidimensional fine root traits in ectomycorrhizal‐dominated alpine coniferous forests (2020, unknown): “…along multiple dimensions across species and communities (Bergmann et al., 2020; Comas & Eissenstat, 2009; Kong et al., 2014; Kramer-Walter et al., 2016; McCormack & Iversen, 2019; Prieto et al., 2015; Valverde-Barrantes, Smemo, & Blackwood, 2015; Zemunik, Turner, Lambers, & Laliberté, 2015).”
Root functional parameters predict fine root decomposability at the community level (2016, methodology): “…in the species composition of the community alter the quality of overall fine roots in the community (Zhang et al. 2008; Holdaway et al. 2011; Prieto et al. 2015), given that plant species differ strongly in the quantity and quality of fine roots (Comas & Eissenstat 2004; Kerkhoff et al.…”
A plant economics spectrum in Mediterranean forests along environmental gradients: is there coordination among leaf, stem and root traits? (2016, background): “…that the trade-off between acquisition and conservation of resources can be also extrapolated to the below-ground component (Birouste et al. 2012; Prieto et al. 2015), providing support for the hypothesis that the paradigm of the leaf economics spectrum can be extended to the whole-plant level…”
Root traits are related to plant water-use among rangeland Mediterranean species (2017, background): “Recent studies sug- gested that these trade-offs could be extended to below- ground traits (Prieto et al. 2015; Weemstra et al. 2016; Roumet et al. 2016).”
Fine-root trait plasticity of beech (Fagus sylvatica) and spruce (Picea abies) forests on two contrasting soils (2017, background): “A contrasting hypothesis, however, predicts thinner fine-roots on poor soils, because these roots grow fast and can more efficiently exploit the soil for resources (Eissenstat 1992; Ryser and Lambers 1995; Eissenstat and Yanai 1997; Ostonen et al. 2007b; Holdaway et al. 2011; Prieto et al. 2015).”
