Rhizospheric traits and plant functioning belowground
Plant CommunicationsThe plant rhizosphere, a region interconnecting roots, soil, and microorganisms, is critical for plant resource acquisition, community structure, and the functional stability of ecosystems. Most studies focus primarily on root traits, while overlooking the covariation within the rhizosphere root-soil-microbe continuum and its ecological implications ...

Intraspecific Functional Trait Variation and Coordination in Schizachyrium scoparium
Ecology and EvolutionPlant functional traits are vital tools in ecological restoration and biodiversity conservation. While functional traits and functional diversity are increasingly being used to inform restoration efforts, challenges remain in the characterization of ...

Functional Traits for Carbon Access in Macrophytes
PLOS ONE, 2016 Understanding functional trait distributions among organisms can inform impacts on and responses to environmental change. In marine systems, only 1% of dissolved inorganic carbon in seawater exists as CO2. Thus the majority of marine macrophytes not only passively access CO2 for photosynthesis, but also actively transport CO2 and the more common ...

Functional trait network analysis in birds
Scientific ReportsFunctional traits are those whose variation affects fitness. We compared the interdependence of beak and postcranial functional morphological traits across birds with different lifestyle strategies and trophic niches to identify those traits that drive major phenotypic changes, and tested for differences in modular organization and integration among ...

Functional traits, the phylogeny of function, and ecosystem service vulnerability
Ecology and Evolution, 2013 AbstractPeople depend on benefits provided by ecological systems. Understanding how these ecosystem services – and the ecosystem properties underpinning them – respond to drivers of change is therefore an urgent priority. We address this challenge through developing a novel risk‐assessment framework that integrates ecological and evolutionary ...

PlantsLeaves and roots perform assimilation, supporting plant growth and functionality. The variations in their functional traits reflect adaptive responses to environmental conditions, yet limited information is available regarding these trait variations and ...

Trait meaning in impression formation as a function of trait variance [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1976 Fifty-four subjects formed an impression of a stimulus person based upon his one trait, and generated other traits possibly applicable to him. They also rated the likableness value of each of their generated adjectives. The test traits were neutral in likableness value but differed as to their variance.

Ecology and EvolutionGlobal databases of plant functional traits are facing issues in data heterogeneity and taxonomical or geographical representativeness. To fill data gaps, natural history collections, such as herbaria, have become widely accepted as a potential source of
