Seed and seedling traits affecting critical life stage transitions and recruitment outcomes in dryland grasses (2015, background): “While links have emerged between traits and abundance at larger scales (e.g. species distribution and community assembly (Cornwell & Ackerly 2010; Lalibert e et al. 2012), efforts to link traits to underlying demographic patterns have been limited, focusing almost exclusively on a handful of well-st”
The intrinsic dimensionality of plant traits and its relevance to community assembly (2014, background): “In the tussock grasslands of New Zealand, leaf traits, root traits, height and life-history traits were most important (Lalibert e et al. 2012).”
Evidence for a ‘plant community economics spectrum’ driven by nutrient and water limitations in a Mediterranean rangeland of southern France (2012, background): “…gradients of soil fertility were mostly related to the acquisition–conservation trade-off (Chapin, Autumn & Pugnaire 1993; Grime 2001; Wright et al. 2004; Laliberté et al. 2012) and demonstrated that this trade-off governing plant resource economy can be applied at both the leaf and the root level.”
Plant functional diversity modulates global environmental change effects on grassland productivity (2018, background): “These traits are known to be important for acquiring sources and determining species abundance in grasslands (Ansquer et al. 2009; Laliberte et al. 2012).”
