History matters : ecometrics and integrative climate change biology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Climate change research is increasingly focusing on the dynamics among species, ecosystems and climates. Better data about the historical behaviours of these dynamics are urgently needed.

Reflectance spectroscopy predicts leaf functional traits across wine grape cultivars

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET
Societal Impact Statement Characterizing variability in crop traits is key for understanding agroecosystem responses to environmental change. However, trait data are often time‐consuming to collect and therefore still limit our understanding and predictions of agriculture responses to environmental change.

Leaf Functional Traits Diversity of Mango Wild Relatives (Mangifera spp.)

open access: yesJurnal Biodjati
There are 69 species of Mangifera distributed worldwide, and approximately 35-40 of these species are found in tropical Asia. This widespread distribution naturally affects the functional characteristics of Mangifera species. This research aims to determine the variation in leaf functional traits of Mangifera species based on their subgenus (Mangifera ...

Variety in evolutionary strategies favours biodiversity in habitats of moderate productivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The mechanism whereby biodiversity varies between habitats differing in productivity is a missing link between ecological and evolutionary theory with vital implications for biodiversity conservation, management and the assessment of ecosystem services ...

Functional trait response to aridity based on leaf trait network analysis in the Hexi Corridor, China

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Aridity acts as a strong environmental filter for plants and is predicted to intensify in the future, resulting in changes to leaf functional traits. However, few studies explore how interactions of multiple traits result in leaf trait tradeoff strategies along an aridity gradient, and whether trait separation occurs with increasing aridity intensity ...

From seedlings to adults: Linking survival and leaf functional traits over ontogeny

open access: yesEcology
AbstractAs long‐lived tropical trees grow into the multi‐layered canopy and face different environmental conditions, the relationships between leaf traits and whole‐plant survival can vary over ontogeny. We tested the strength and direction of the relationships between leaf traits and long‐term survival data across life stages for woody species from a ...

The Global Spectra-Trait Initiative: A database of paired leaf spectroscopy and functional traits associated with leaf photosynthetic capacity

open access: yes
Abstract. Accurate assessment of leaf functional traits is crucial for a diverse range of applications from crop phenotyping to parameterizing global climate models. Leaf reflectance spectroscopy offers a promising avenue to advance ecological and of robust hyperspectral models for predicting leaf photosynthetic capacity and associated traits from ...

Intraspecific leaf functional trait variation and foliar disease in agroecosystems

open access: yes, 2020
Background/Question/Methods: Quantifying intraspecific functional trait variation of crops provides an understanding of how plants respond to environmental stimuli and in turn influence agroecosystem functioning. Recent research has advanced our understanding surrounding the soil and climatic drivers of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) in crops ...
