Global relationship of wood and leaf litter decomposability: the role of functional traits within and across plant organs (2014, background): “arctic plants (Freschet et al., 2010) reflected a single axis of vari-”
A plant economics spectrum in Mediterranean forests along environmental gradients: is there coordination among leaf, stem and root traits? (2016, methodology): “8 limited by the scarcity of soil water and nutrients, we expect to find a strong, positive coordination between leaf, stem and root traits, reflecting a whole-plant economics spectrum across the resource-use gradient (Freschet et al. 2010; Pérez-Ramos et al. 2012).”

Leaf, stem and root tissue strategies across 758 Neotropical tree species (2012, background): “More limited evidence from arctic, boreal, desert, temperate and tropical ecosystems shows coordination among leaf, stem and both fine and coarse root chemical traits, suggesting a whole-plant economics spectrum (Kerkhoff et al. 2006; Freschet et al. 2010; Li et al. 2010), but these studies have foc”
How fundamental plant functional trait relationships scale‐up to trade‐offs and synergies in ecosystem services (2012, background): “…as captured by plant strategy schemes (Grime 1977, Westoby 1998) and trait spectra analyses (Dı́az et al. 2004; Wright et al. 2004; Chave et al. 2009; Freschet et al. 2010a) with the understanding of relationships of ES to traits through trait–ecosystem functioning relationships should strongly…”
Towards a trait‐based ecology of wetland vegetation (2017, background): “…and distribution along environmental gradients based on evidence of covariation between root, stem and leaf structural and biochemical traits that respond to nutrients, carbon acquisition (light) and water in a correlated fashion (Wright et al. 2004; Freschet et al. 2010; Reich 2014).”
Relative contributions of plant traits and soil microbial properties to mountain grassland ecosystem services (2013, background): “Secondly, effects on ecosystem processes of leaf economics spectrum traits that reflect the quality of plant material entering the soil (Freschet et al. 2010) were consistent with expectations of nutrient turnover being faster in communities dominated by exploitative species (high SLA and LNC, low L”
Root functional parameters predict fine root decomposability at the community level (2016, background): “Living and decomposing roots form a continuum (Hobbie et al. 2010), and most studies have reported little or no difference in nutrient concentration between living and dead roots (McClaugherty, Aber & Melillo 1982; Aerts 1990; Freschet et al. 2010).”
Plant communities as drivers of soil respiration: pathways, mechanisms, and significance for global change (2011, background): “Recent evidence from an arctic tundra community suggests that basic species root traits, such as C, N and lignin concentration and dry matter content, were closely correlated with the same traits in stems and leaves (Freschet et al., 2010).”
