Seed production of co-occurring species: Regenerative strategies, plant economic spectrum or architectural constraints?

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022
Although plant clonality is an important reproductive strategy complementing seed reproduction, their interrelationship is seldom studied. We evaluated how plant clonality, together with plant economics spectrum and architectural constraints, affect the ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

Linking Aboveground Traits to Root Traits and Local Environment: Implications of the Plant Economics Spectrum. [PDF]

, 2019
The plant economics spectrum proposes that ecological traits are functionally coordinated and adapt along environmental gradients. However, empirical evidence is mixed about whether aboveground and root traits are consistently linked and which ...

Within‐species patterns challenge our understanding of the leaf economics spectrum

Ecology Letters, 2018
AbstractThe utility of plant functional traits for predictive ecology relies on our ability to interpret trait variation across multiple taxonomic and ecological scales. Using extensive data sets of trait variation within species, across species and across communities, we analysed whether and at what scales leaf economics spectrum (LES) traits show ...

Staging an Experience of Cultural Heritage Preservation: Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Heirloom Rice in the Philippines

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cordillera Administrative Region in the Philippines is home to terraced rice embedded in centuries of cultural heritage. However, weak market incentives threaten sustained production, jeopardizing indigenous communities' cultural heritage and the in situ biodiversity of rice genetic resources.

Rethinking the Plant Economics Spectrum for Annuals: A Multi-Species Study

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The plant economics spectrum hypothesizes a correlation among resource-use related traits along one single axis, which determines species’ growth rates and their ecological filtering along resource gradients. This concept has been mostly investigated and

Pricing Dynamics in the US Hemp Market: A Vertical Price Transmission Analysis of the Hemp Value Chain

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 ...

What to Make and How to Make It: Combining Machine Learning and Statistical Learning to Design New Materials

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Combining machine learning and probabilistic statistical learning is a powerful way to discover and design new materials. A variety of machine learning approaches can be used to identify promising candidates for target applications, and causal inference can help identify potential ways to make them a reality.

Variation in leaf economics spectrum between plant functional types and the coordination with vein density in a subtropical urban forest of Eastern China

Annals of Forest Science
Key message Evergreen and deciduous species in a subtropical urban forest of Eastern China exhibit pronounced differences in leaf traits, with evergreens species showing lower photosynthetic rate on a leaf mass basis and leaf nutrient contents, but ...
