Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Leaf phosphorus resorption is related to leaf lifespan and labile phosphorus allocation among species in a nutrient‐poor sclerophyll woodland

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Internal nutrient recycling, such as leaf nutrient resorption, serves as an important strategy for plants to optimise their growth and survival on nutrient‐poor soils.

Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...
