Transition in multi-dimensional leaf traits and their controls on water use strategies of co-occurring species along a soil limiting-resource gradient

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Water use efficiency is among the most important eco-physiological strategies for species adaptation to water-limiting habitats. However, understanding of how co-occurring species adopt diverse water use strategies to cope with water- and resource ...

Adaptation strategies of leaf traits and leaf economic spectrum of two urban garden plants in China

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Abstract Background Previous studies of the relationships between traits have focused on the natural growth conditions of wild plants. Urban garden plants exhibit some differences in plant traits due to environmental interference.

Leaf life span and the leaf economic spectrum in the context of whole plant architecture [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2014
SummaryThe leaf economics spectrum (LES) has been an organizing framework of plant functional ecology for the past decade. TheLESdescribes a set of trade‐offs among traits related to plant carbon balance. Species with a long leaf life span (LLS) invest additional material for leaf protection and structural support and consequently tend to have a lower ...

The relative contributions of climate, soil, diversity and interactions to leaf trait variation and spectrum of invasive Solidago canadensis

BMC Ecology, 2019
Background Invasive plants commonly occupy diverse habitats and thus must adapt to changing environmental pressures through altering their traits and economics spectra, and addressing these patterns and their drivers has an importantly ecological and/or ...

Integrating defense and leaf economic spectrum traits in a tropical savanna plant

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
IntroductionAllocation to plant defense traits likely depends on resource supply, herbivory, and other plant functional traits such as the leaf economic spectrum (LES) traits. Yet, attempts to integrate defense and resource acquisitive traits remain elusive.MethodsWe assessed intraspecific covariation between different defense and LES traits in a ...

Fine Root Traits across Different Root Orders and Their Associations with Leaf Traits in 15 Co-Occurring Plant Species from the Desert–Oasis Transition Zone in the Hexi Corridor, Gansu Province, China

Plants
Fine root traits embody trade-offs between resource acquisition and conservation in plants. Yet, the differentiation of these traits across root orders, the existence of a root economics spectrum (RES) spanning these orders, and their linkage with leaf ...

Adaptation strategies of leaf traits and leaf economic spectrum in urban garden plants

, 2022
Abstract In order to explore the adaptation strategies of urban garden plants leaf traits and the relationship of different life forms to climate zone. In this study, we used Mudanjiang of Heilongjiang Province and Bozhou of Anhui Province as the research sites, 17 and 9 woody garden plants were selected respectively, measured 7 leaf ...
