Physiological and structural tradeoffs underlying the leaf economics spectrum [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2017 Summary The leaf economics spectrum ( LES ) represents a suite of intercorrelated leaf traits concerning construction costs per unit leaf area, nutrient concentrations, and rates of carbon

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 association of leaf sulfur content with the leaf economics spectrum and plant adaptive strategies [PDF]
Functional Plant Biology, 2021 Sulfur is an essential macronutrient for plant primary metabolism. Its availability can modulate plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems. However, its relationship with other leaf and nutrient traits, and hence its contribution to plant functioning, remains unclear.

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 ...

FUNDAMENTAL TRADE-OFFS GENERATING THE WORLDWIDE LEAF ECONOMICS SPECTRUM [PDF]
Ecology, 2006 Recent work has identified a worldwide "economic" spectrum of correlated leaf traits that affects global patterns of nutrient cycling and primary productivity and that is used to calibrate vegetation-climate models. The correlation patterns are displayed by species from the arctic to the tropics and are largely independent of growth form or phylogeny ...

Testing models for the leaf economics spectrum with leaf and whole-plant traits in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2015 The leaf economics spectrum (LES) describes strong relationships between multiple functional leaf traits that determine resource fluxes in vascular plants. Five models have been proposed to explain these patterns: two based on patterns of structural allocation, two on venation networks and one on resource allocation to cell walls and cell contents ...

Applied Sciences, 2021 Studies on the influence of parasitism on plants based on hyperspectral analysis have not been reported so far. To fully understand the variation characteristics and laws of leaf reflectance spectrum and functional traits after the urban plant ...

How do leaf veins influence the worldwide leaf economic spectrum? Review and synthesis [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2013 Leaf vein traits are implicated in the determination of gas exchange rates and plant performance. These traits are increasingly considered as causal factors affecting the 'leaf economic spectrum' (LES), which includes the light-saturated rate of photosynthesis, dark respiration, foliar nitrogen concentration, leaf dry mass per area (LMA) and leaf ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background Functional trait-based ecological research has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of environmental changes. It is still, however, unclear how the functional traits of urban plants respond to atmospheric particulate matter, and ...
