Leaf Traits as Functional Descriptors of the Intensity of Continuous Grazing in Native Grasslands in the South of Brazil (2010, methodology): “The analysis of the vegetation response to grazing through a functional approach has been successfully applied under temperate subhumid (Dı́az et al. 2001) and humid conditions (Louault et al. 2005) as well as under dry environmental conditions (Landsberg et al. 1999).”
Using functional traits to predict grassland ecosystem change: a mathematical test of the response‐and‐effect trait approach (2009, background): “Inversely, a growth strategy inducing resource exploitation (low tissue density, high N content and high area per unit mass leaves) was favoured by high disturbance (Louault et al., 2005).”
Trade-off between root nitrogen acquisition and shoot nitrogen utilization across 13 co-occurring pasture grass species (2009, background): “This is the case of D. glomerata and F. arundinacea, which dominate upland pastures with low grazing disturbance (Louault et al. 2005).”
Grazing triggers soil carbon loss by altering plant roots and their control on soil microbial community (2009, unknown): “The study was carried out with grassland monoliths from a permanent semi-natural mesic pasture that had been subjected to high- and low-intensity sheep grazing without fertilization for the last 14 years (Louault et al. 2005).”
How does grazing intensity influence the diversity of plants and insects in a species‐rich upland grassland on basalt soils? (2009, background): “Most studies have focused either on vegetation (Kiehl et al., 1996; Hart and Ashby, 1998; Louault et al., 2005; Klimek et al., 2007) or insects only (Weibull et al., 2000; Di Giulio et al., 2001; Dennis et al., 2004).”
Filtering processes in the assembly of plant communities: Are species presence and abundance driven by the same traits? (2007, background): “This value can be calculated, giving to each species a similar weight (simple average, e.g. Fonseca et al. 2000) or weighting each species by its relative abundance at the site (weighted average, e.g. Louault et al. 2005; Garnier et al. 2006).”
Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation? (2014, unknown): “1999) 197 (Louault et al. 2005) 204, 205 (Ogaya & Peñuelas 2003; Ogaya & Penuelas 2006; Ogaya & Peñuelas 2007, 2008; Sardans et al.”
Relative climatic, edaphic and management controls of plant functional trait signatures (2009, background): “…resource-retentive life histories (e.g. evergreen leaves, high leaf dry matter content), whereas disturbed plots were more associated with acquisitive life histories (e.g. high leaf nitrogen content (Garnier et al. 2004; Kahmen & Poschlod 2004; Pakeman 2004; Louault et al. 2005; Vile et al. 2006).”
Restoration of grazing management and its effect on vegetation in an upland grassland (2007, background): “capillaris (CRS strategy, Grime 1987) is often promoted by grazing in low productive grasslands (e.g. Hellström et al. 2003; Louault et al. 2005; Pavlů et al. 2006a).”
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods? (2012, background): “It therefore allows examination of the response to environmental changes of trait distributions among individual species (Louault et al. 2005), and co-existence or specialization of different life-history strategies along environmental gradients (Grime et al. 1988).”
Assessing functional diversity in the field - methodology matters! (2007, background): “CWM traits have been shown to be useful to assess community dynamics and ecosystem properties (Garnier et al. 2004, 2007; de Bello, Lep s & Sebastia 2005; Louault et al. 2005; Quetier, Thebault & Lavorel 2007).”
A trait-based approach to comparative functional plant ecology: concepts, methods and applications for agroecology. A review (2012, background): “These experimental limits explain why data from different studies are hardly comparable except when treatments contrast intensive grazing to very low or absence of grazing (Louault et al. 2005; Evju et al. 2009).”
Discriminating trait‐convergence and trait‐divergence assembly patterns in ecological community gradients (2009, unknown): “In another alternative (Pillar & Orlóci 1993a, b; Pillar 1999b; Pillar & Sosinski 2003, with applications in Louault et al. 2005; Blanco et al. 2007; Müller et al. 2007), which can be traced back to Orlóci & Orlóci (1985), the OTUs are classified into types (Fig.”
