The Cortical Chlorenchyma Collaboration Gradient Dominates the Shoot Economics Space in Larix principis-rupprechtii [PDF]
LifePlant economics is based on carbon and nutrients rather than money. While leaf strategies aboveground are well characterized along an economic spectrum from “fast-growing and short-lived” to “slow and conservative,” economic models defined by aboveground

Responses and driving mechanisms of leaf functional traits of Betula platyphylla along an elevational gradient in the Niyang River Basin, southeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyVariation in plant functional traits reflects environmental adaptation. Understanding how traits shift along elevational gradients can clarify mechanisms by which species respond to environmental change.

Differing Trade-Off Patterns of Tree Vegetative Organs in a Tropical Cloud Forest
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Functional trait ecology demonstrates the significance of the leaf economics spectrum in understanding plants’ trade-off between acquisitive and conservative resource utilization.

Leaf-level coordination principles propagate to the ecosystem scale
Nature Communications, 2023 Fundamental axes of variation in plant traits result from trade-offs between costs and benefits of resource-use strategies at the leaf scale. However, it is unclear whether similar trade-offs propagate to the ecosystem level.

Leaf trait-environment relationships in a subtropical broadleaved forest in South-East China. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although trait analyses have become more important in community ecology, trait-environment correlations have rarely been studied along successional gradients.

The Economics Spectrum Drives Root Trait Strategies in Mediterranean Vegetation
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Extensive research efforts are devoted to understand fine root trait variation and to confirm the existence of a belowground root economics spectrum (RES) from acquisitive to conservative root strategies that is analogous to the leaf economics spectrum ...

Nature Communications, 2020 FLOWERING LOCUS M (FLM) is known as a repressor of Arabidopsis flowering. Here, the authors show that a single intronic substitution of FLM modulates leaf color and plant growth strategy along the leaf economics spectrum, as well as plays a role in plant
