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.

The leaf economics spectrum of Poaceae reflects variation in survival strategies

Plant Biosystems - An International Journal Dealing with all Aspects of Plant Biology, 2007
Abstract Leaf morphology reflects a trade-off between maximising resource acquisition and investment in structural/metabolic durability, and continuous variation in such leaf economics is apparent even within traditional plant functional type categories such as ‘grasses’. We hypothesised that the leaf economics spectrum of ‘grasses’ reflects a spectrum

EXTENDING THE LEAF ECONOMICS SPECTRUM TO DECOMPOSITION: EVIDENCE FROM A TROPICAL FOREST

Ecology, 2007
I investigated the relationship between leaf physiological traits and decomposition of leaf litter for 35 plant species of contrasting growth forms from a lowland tropical forest in Panama to determine whether leaf traits could be used to predict decomposition.

The Leaf Economics Spectrum and its Underlying Physiological and Anatomical Principles

2018
Large variations are found in leaf morphology and physiology across species in nature, reflecting diversity in carbon fixation and growth strategies. These variations in leaf traits are not random; rather, they are tightly coordinated with each other. Leaf traits can be expressed per leaf dry mass or per leaf area.

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
