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 ...

Root Branching Is a Leading Root Trait of the Plant Economics Spectrum in Temperate Trees. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci, 2017
Global vegetation models use conceived relationships between functional traits to simulate ecosystem responses to environmental change. In this context, the concept of the leaf economics spectrum (LES) suggests coordinated leaf trait variation, and separates species which invest resources into short-lived leaves with a high expected energy return rate ...

Whole-Plant Seedling Functional Traits Suggest Lianas Also Support “Fast-Slow” Plant Economics Spectrum

Forests, 2022
Lianas are predicted to perform better than trees during seasonal drought among tropical forests, which has substantial implications for tree and forest dynamics. Here, we use whole-plant trait comparison to test whether lianas allocated on the resource acquisitive end of the continuum of woody plant strategies.

A plant economics spectrum of litter decomposition among coexisting fern species in a sub-tropical forest. [PDF]

Ann Bot, 2020
Abstract Background and Aims The plant economics spectrum theory provides a useful framework to examine plant strategies by integrating the co-ordination of plant functional traits along a resource acquisition–conservation trade-off axis. Empirical evidence for this theory has been widely observed for

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 ...

Leaf-level coordination principles propagate to the ecosystem scale

Nature Communications, 2023
Fundamental axes of variation in plant traits result from trade-offs between costs and benefits of resource-use strategies at the leaf scale. However, it is unclear whether similar trade-offs propagate to the ecosystem level.

Evidence of the ‘plant economics spectrum’ in a subarctic flora [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2010
Summary 1.  A fundamental trade‐off among vascular plants between traits inferring rapid resource acquisition and those leading to conservation of resources has now been accepted broadly, but is based on empirical data with a strong bias towards leaf traits.

Linking xylem hydraulic conductivity and vulnerability to the leaf economics spectrum--a cross-species study of 39 evergreen and deciduous broadleaved subtropical tree species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
While the fundamental trade-off in leaf traits related to carbon capture as described by the leaf economics spectrum is well-established among plant species, the relationship of the leaf economics spectrum to stem hydraulics is much less known.

Temperature explains intraspecific functional trait variation in Phragmites australis more effectively than soil properties

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Common reed (Phragmites australis) is a widespread grass species that exhibits a high degree of intraspecific variation for functional traits along environmental gradients.
