Global Leaf Trait Relationships: Mass, Area, and the Leaf Economics Spectrum

Science, 2013
Getting It Wright? In 2004, a paper by Wright et al. comparing six leaf traits of over 2000 plant species showed that between-species variation among the traits was confined primarily to a single multidimensional axis, but only if traits were normalized by leaf mass.

Leaf nonstructural carbohydrate residence time, not concentration, correlates with leaf functional traits following the leaf economic spectrum in woody plants

New Phytologist
Summary Nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC) concentrations might reflect the strategies described in the leaf economic spectrum (LES) due to their dependence on photosynthesis and respiration. We examined if NSC concentrations correlate with leaf structure, chemistry, and physiology traits for 114 species from 19 sites and 5 biomes around the globe. Total

Venation networks and the origin of the leaf economics spectrum

Ecology Letters, 2010
Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 91–100AbstractThe leaf economics spectrum describes biome‐invariant scaling functions for leaf functional traits that relate to global primary productivity and nutrient cycling. Here, we develop a comprehensive framework for the origin of this leaf economics spectrum based on venation‐mediated economic strategies.

Intraspecific trait variation across multiple scales: the leaf economics spectrum in coffee [PDF]

open access: possibleFunctional Ecology, 2016
Summary Understanding species differences in plant functional traits has been critical in developing a mechanistic understanding of terrestrial ecological processes. Greater attention is now being placed on understanding the extent, causes and consequences of intraspecific trait variation (ITV).

Biogeographic constraints on the world‐wide leaf economics spectrum

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2012
ABSTRACTAim  The world‐wide leaf economic spectrum (LES) describes tight coordination of leaf traits across global floras, reported to date as being largely independent of phylogeny and biogeography. Here, we present and test an alternative, historical perspective that predicts that biogeography places significant constraints on global trait evolution.
