Towards a framework for understanding the context dependence of impacts of non‐native tree species (2020, background): “Moreover, for some species this intraspecific variation encompasses a significant proportion of the global range of these traits (Figure 4b; Figure S2; Pérez-Harguindeguy et al., 2013).”
Aboveground carbon storage is driven by functional trait composition and stand structural attributes rather than biodiversity in temperate mixed forests recovering from disturbances (2018, positive): “Based on the recommendations of Pérez-Harguindeguy et al. (2013) and Paquette and Messier (2011), we measured wood density values for 80% of the dominant species across the plots.”
Which is a better predictor of plant traits: temperature or precipitation? (2014, neutral): “Many of our most influential theories were put forward in the 1960s and 1970s (MacArthur & Wilson 1963; Janzen 1970; Pianka 1970; MacArthur 1972; Connell 1978), often before the data necessary to test their predictions were available.”
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models (2016, background): “As studies incorporating regeneration traits are initiated, it will also be important to establish standardized trait measurement methods across studies and systems (e.g., as in Cornelissen et al. 2003; Pérez-Harguindeguy et al. 2013) (Table 1, Action 2) and, ideally, to expand trait databases to ma”
A plant economics spectrum in Mediterranean forests along environmental gradients: is there coordination among leaf, stem and root traits? (2016, methodology): “All these trait measurements were carried out according to the criteria defined by Pérez-Harguindeguy et al. (2013).”
Morphological and physiological traits for higher biomass production in perennial rhizomatous grasses grown on marginal land (2015, background): “A plant functional trait is therefore any morphological, physiological or phenological feature, measureable in the plant from the cell to the whole organism level, which potentially affects its fitness (Perez-Harguindeguy et al., 2013).”
Plant functional traits and the multidimensional nature of species coexistence (2015, methodology): “These traits are known to capture ecologically important variation in leaves, roots, seeds, and whole-plant function across plant species worldwide (35, 41) and are widely sampled within plant communities.”
Flammability as an ecological and evolutionary driver (2017, background): “…thickness and shape of the organ (leaves and twigs) and on the tissue composition – such as the presence of organs that accumulate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the lignin concentration and the dry matter contents (Orme~no et al. 2009; P erez-Harguindeguy et al. 2013; Pausas et al. 2016).”
