From Imposter to Original: How Organizational Leaders Shape and Develop a Leader Identity Through Meaning‐Making of Experiences

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article describes how people in formal leadership roles shape and develop a leader identity through meaning‐making of experiences across time and situations. Drawing on qualitative data from in‐depth life narrative interviews with 22 organizational leaders, enriched through photo and object elicitation techniques as well as timeline ...

Consistency of species ranking based on functional leaf traits [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2001
•  Specific leaf area (leaf area to dry mass ratio), leaf dry matter content (leaf dry mass to saturated fresh mass ratio) and leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) have been proposed as indicators of plant resource use in data bases of plant functional traits.

Seasonality and phenology alter functional leaf traits

Oecologia, 2012
In plant ecophysiology, functional leaf traits are generally not assessed in relation to phenological phase of the canopy. Leaf traits measured in deciduous perennial species are known to vary between spring and summer seasons, but there is a knowledge gap relating to the late-summer phase marked by growth cessation and bud set occurring well before ...

Phenological variation of leaf functional traits within species

Oecologia, 2016
A basic assumption of the trait-based approach in plant ecology is that differences in functional trait values are greater between species than within species. We questioned this assumption by assessing (1) the relative extent of inter- and intraspecific leaf trait variation throughout a complete growing season (phenological variation) in a group of ...

Estimating leaf functional traits by inversion of PROSPECT: Assessing leaf dry matter content and specific leaf area in mixed mountainous forest [PDF]

International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2016
Assessments of ecosystem functioning rely heavily on quantification of vegetation properties. The search is on for methods that produce reliable and accurate baseline information on plant functional traits. In this study, the inversion of the PROSPECT radiative transfer model was used to estimate two functional leaf traits: leaf dry matter content ...

Reliability of leaf functional traits after delayed measurements

Australian Journal of Botany, 2020
In this study, the effect of temporary storage (at 4°C) on measurement of leaf traits was tested. We collected leaf samples from 25 species, which represented different functional types in the high altitude vegetation of western Himalaya, to measure leaf area (LA), leaf rehydration, specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC).

Functional leaf traits and biodiversity effects on litter decomposition in a stream

Ecology, 2009
Rapid loss of biodiversity worldwide has raised concerns about the consequences to ecosystem functioning, including processes such as litter decomposition. Consequent experiments with litter mixtures to assess effects of changing tree composition and diversity on decomposition have given mixed results, but the causes are not clear.

FUNCTIONAL LEAF TRAITS AND BIODIVERSITY EFFECTS ON LITTER DECOMPOSITION IN A STREAM: COMMENT

Ecology, 2010
In a recent paper, Schindler and Gessner (2009) tested how functional diversity of leaf litter explains litter diversity effects on decomposition. Their study builds on a large body of experimental evidence that decomposi tion rates of litter species mixtures are not simply predicted by the component species decomposing in isolation (Gartner and Cardon

Shoot flammability is decoupled from leaf flammability, but controlled by leaf functional traits

Journal of Ecology, 2019
Abstract Flammability is an important plant trait, relevant to plant function, wildfire behaviour and plant evolution. However, systematic comparison of plant flammability across ecosystems has proved difficult because of varying methodologies and assessment of different fuels comprising different plant parts.

Functional leaf traits and leaf economics in the Paleogene — A case study for Central Europe

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2017
Abstract Numerous data based on extant vegetation reveal global patterns of relationships between functional leaf traits and climate. Leaf life span (LLS), i.e. evergreen vs. deciduous leaves, represents a central parameter linking functional traits related to the global leaf economics spectrum. Paleogene climate transitions are therefore expected to
