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 ...

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 ...

PlantsFine 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The US hemp market is a new and nascent industry that has been devoid of research for about half a century. This study examined the effects of exogenous shock on price at each phase of the value chain—Farm (hemp biomass), and its impact on prices at other phases of the value chain—Intermediary Processor (crude cannabidiol hemp) and Final ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Leaf anatomy varies with abiotic factors and is an important trait for understanding plant adaptive responses to environmental conditions. Leaf mass per area (LMA) is a key morphological trait and is related to leaf performance, such as light‐saturated ...
