• Plant traits relate to whole‐community litter quality and decomposition following land use change (2007, background): “Although the impacts of individual species, via their functional characteristics or traits, on processes such as decomposition, nutrient cycling and productivity are becoming well established (Zinke 1962; Pastor & Post 1988; Wedin & Tilman 1990; Hobbie 1992; Wardle et al. 1997; Eviner 2004), there a”
• Functional Group Identity Does not Predict Invader Impacts: Differential Effects of Nitrogen-fixing Exotic Plants on Ecosystem Function (2007, background): “Theoretically, grouping together species with similar physiological or life history traits in functional groups can allow us to generalize how exotic plants affect ecosystem functioning in their new environment (Eviner 2004).”
• Let the concept of trait be functional (2007, background): “In the second one, Eviner (2004) characterized the influence of plant standing biomass, soil conditions and microbial phosphorus, all defined as ‘‘plant traits’’ (see Table 4 of Eviner’s paper for details), on ecosystem properties such as litter characteristics, labile carbon inputs, and on soil t”
• Early successional woody plants facilitate and ferns inhibit forest development on Puerto Rican landslides (2010, background): “…of structural or functional groups inform us about succession (Walker, Bellingham & Peltzer 2006), perhaps due to independent variation of multiple traits within species (Eviner 2004) or the complex and often random assembly of a temporally dynamic environment (Honnay, Verhaeghe & Hermy 2001).”
• Assessing the effects of land-use change on plant traits, communities and ecosystem functioning in grasslands: a standardized methodology and lessons from an application to 11 European sites. (2007, background): “Shifts in land use and plant species composition can influence decomposition by a number of mechanisms, including changes in the quality of the litter produced and influences on the temperature and moisture regime at the soil surface (Eviner, 2004).”
