Individualistic responses of forest herb traits to environmental change [PDF]
, 2020 Intraspecific trait variation (ITV; i.e. variability in mean and/or distribution of plant attribute values within species) can occur in response to multiple drivers.

Intraspecific trait variation and coordination: Root and leaf economics spectra in coffee across environmental gradients [PDF]
, 2017 Hypotheses on the existence of a universal “Root Economics Spectrum” (RES) have received arguably the least attention of all trait spectra, despite the key role root trait variation plays in resource acquisition potential.

Functional ecology of congeneric variation in the leaf economics spectrum [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2019 Summary Variation in resource availability can lead to phenotypic plasticity in the traits comprising the world‐wide leaf economics spectrum (LES), potentially impairing plant function and complicating the use of tabulated values for LES traits in ecological studies.

Optimization of leaf morphology in relation to leaf water status: A theory. [PDF]
, 2020 The leaf economic traits such as leaf area, maximum carbon assimilation rate, and venation are all correlated and related to water availability. Furthermore, leaves are often broad and large in humid areas and narrower in arid/semiarid and hot and cold ...

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

Divergent drivers of leaf trait variation within species, among species, and among functional groups. [PDF]
, 2018 Understanding variation in leaf functional traits-including rates of photosynthesis and respiration and concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus-is a fundamental challenge in plant ecophysiology. When expressed per unit leaf area, these traits typically

Coordination of Foliar and Wood Anatomical Traits Contributes to Tropical Tree Distributions and Productivity along the Malay-Thai Peninsula [PDF]
, 2009 Drought is a critical factor in plant species distributions. Much research points to its relevance even in moist tropical regions. Recent studies have begun to elucidate mechanisms underlying the distributions of tropical tree species with respect to ...

Acta Silvae et Ligni, 2022 Using Slovenian forest flora as an example, we investigated four plant functional traits: specific leaf area (SLP), leaf dry matter content (VSS), plant height (VIŠ) and seed/spore mass (MAS).

Overwintering evergreen oaks reverse typical relationships between leaf traits in a species spectrum [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The leaf economics spectrum has given us a fundamental understanding of the species variations in leaf variables. Across plant species, tight correlations among leaf mass per area (LMA), mass-based nitrogen (Nm) and photosynthetic rate (Am) and leaf ...
