New handbook for standardised measurement of plant functional traits worldwide (2013, background): “In those cases, species should be selected that collectively make up for ~80% of cumulative relative abundance, following Garnier et al. (2004) and Pakeman and Quested (2007) (see specifics for abundance measurements below).”
A plant economics spectrum in Mediterranean forests along environmental gradients: is there coordination among leaf, stem and root traits? (2016, background): “However, studies on woody plants from tropical forests did not find positive correlations between leaf and root traits (Fortunel et al. 2012) or between leaf and stem traits (Baraloto et al. 2010).”
A hyper‐arid environment shapes an inverse pattern of the fast–slow plant economics spectrum for above‐, but not below‐ground resource acquisition strategies (2018, result): “The relationship between WDs and WDr is opposite from what is expected by theory (see Fortunel et al., 2012); that is, we showed that as WDs increases (fast resource acquisition) WDr decreases (slow resource acquisition).”
Plant functional effects on ecosystem services (2013, result): “These results provide support for the hypothesis that plant economics may not only be reflected in leaves, but also in roots and stems at species (Freschet et al. 2010) and at community level (P erez-Ramos et al. 2012). However, neither Butterfield & Suding (2013) nor Conti & Díaz (2013) support who”
