The worldwide leaf economics spectrum [PDF]
Bringing together leaf trait data spanning 2,548 species and 175 sites we describe, for the first time at global scale, a universal spectrum of leaf economics consisting of key chemical, structural and physiological properties. The spectrum runs from quick to slow return on investments of nutrients and dry mass in leaves, and operates largely ...

Global Leaf Trait Relationships: Mass, Area, and the Leaf Economics Spectrum
Science, 2013Getting 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.

Venation networks and the origin of the leaf economics spectrum
Ecology Letters, 2010Ecology 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]
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).
