Where do functional traits come from? The role of theory and models (2019, background): “The trait concept is now commonplace in ecology and biodiversity informatics (Garnier et al., 2015; Gibert et al., 2015), but it has a long history of analysis and application in biology (Calow, 1987; Nock et al., 2016; Warming, 1909; Volaire et al., 2020).”
Trait correlation network analysis identifies biomass allocation traits and stem specific length as hub traits in herbaceous perennial plants (2018, background): “SLA is the trait most often used to identify the position of species on the resource acquisition–conservation spectrum (Garnier et al., 2016).”
Biodiversity response to forest structure and management: Comparing species richness, conservation relevant species and functional diversity as metrics in forest conservation (2019, background): “Finally, as organisms’ responses to environmental variability always involve a combination of traits, we included a classification of ecological strategies (Garnier et al., 2016) for plants and bryophytes.”
