The Links Between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (2016, background): “Although knowledge on associations and trade-offs between plant traits is well established, the study of the consequences of these on ecosystem functioning and the resulting services is less well developed (Lavorel and Grigulis, 2012).”
Creating win-wins from trade-offs? Ecosystem services for human well-being: A meta-analysis of ecosystem service trade-offs and synergies in the real world (2014, background): “A priori it may be difficult to define the circumstances under which win-wins will result, though functional trait approaches afford, to some degree, generalisations about expected win-wins from an ecological perspective (Lavorel and Grigulis, 2012).”
Variation of stomatal traits from cold-temperate to tropical forests and association with water use efficiency (2018, positive): “Plant traits are recognised as important determinants of ecosystem functioning (Garnier & Navas, 2012; Lavorel & Grigulis, 2012; Reichstein, Bahn, Mahecha, Kattge, & Baldocchi, 2014).”
Plant functional effects on ecosystem services (2013, background): “Simultaneous services being driven by independently varying traits allows for multifunctionality (Lavorel & Grigulis 2012; Butterfield & Suding 2013), while trade-offs such as those captured by the leaf economics spectrum result in trade-offs between services, such as from productivity to carbon…”
Plant–soil feedbacks: role of plant functional group and plant traits (2016, background): “Consequently, plant traits may be used to predict effects of plants on ecosystem processes (Violle et al. 2007; De Deyn, Cornelissen & Bardgett 2008; Lavorel & Grigulis 2012; Baxendale et al. 2014) and plant performance along environmental gradients (Lavorel & Garnier 2002).”
Towards a trait‐based ecology of wetland vegetation (2017, background): “Trait-based approaches can capture the links from environmental drivers to plant communities and onwards to the ecosystem processes that underlie ES delivery (McGill et al. 2006; D ıaz et al. 2007; Suding et al. 2008; De Bello et al. 2010; Lavorel & Grigulis 2012).”
Plant functional diversity and carbon storage – an empirical test in semi‐arid forest ecosystems (2013, background): “Larger plants are also expected to shed more biomass in the form of leaf and woody litter per unit ground area and thus contribute directly to C accumulation in the standing litter and in the organic soil (Garnier et al. 2004; Lavorel & Grigulis 2012).”
The world‐wide ‘fast–slow’ plant economics spectrum: a traits manifesto (2014, background): “MODELL ING ECOSYSTEMS AND BEYOND That plant traits influence ecosystem-scale properties and processes (Lavorel & Grigulis 2012) is a cornerstone of many mechanistically oriented ecosystem models, dynamic global vegetation models and land surface models (terrestrial biosphere models hereafter)…”
From plant functional types to plant functional traits (2015, background): “FTs are closely related to climate regulation, carbon storage, water regulation, soil stability and tolerance of disturbance (de Bello et al., 2010; Lavorel and Grigulis, 2012).”
Microbially Mediated Plant Functional Traits (2011, background): “…between environmental variables and ecosystem services, such as grasslands in the French Alps that span a soil-fertilitybased gradient and whose functional traits have been used in a structural equation modeling framework to predict agronomic and cultural value (Lavorel and Grigulis, 2011).”
Grazing‐induced shifts in community functional composition and soil nutrient availability in Tibetan alpine meadows (2016, background): “…community-weighted mean (CWM: the abundance-weighted mean of a trait for species comprising a community) is well-established as a meaningful measure of a trait functional composition at the community level (Grime 1998; Garnier et al. 2004; Diaz et al. 2007a; Lavorel & Grigulis 2012; Laughlin 2014).”
Unifying functional trait approaches to understand the assemblage of ecological communities: synthesizing taxonomic divides (2019, background): “2007), predict vegetative responses to global change (Suding and Goldstein 2008), and link plant traits with ecosystem service provisioning (Lavorel and Grigulis 2012).”
Land use intensification alters ecosystem multifunctionality via loss of biodiversity and changes to functional composition (2015, background): “This shift towards fast-growing species can alter numerous ecosystem functions and services, with an increase in biomass production and nutrient cycling rates expected (Lavorel & Grigulis 2012).”
