TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits ...

Some are Punished and Some are Rewarded: A Study of the Impact of Performance Pay on Job Satisfaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Using an econometric procedure that corrects for both self-selection of individuals into their preferred compensation scheme and wage endogeneity, this study investigates whether significant differences exist in the job satisfaction of individuals ...

Adaptation strategies of leaf traits and leaf economic spectrum in urban garden plants

open access: yes, 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 ...

Fast invasives fastly become faster: Invasive plants align largely with the fast side of the plant economics spectrum [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, 2021
Abstract Invasive plants generally align with the fast side of the plant's trait economics spectrum, characterized by fast nutrient acquisition, growth and reproduction. However, there are

Mulching in lowland hay meadows drives an adaptive convergence of above- and below-ground traits reducing plasticity and improving biomass: A possible tool for enhancing phytoremediation

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
We aimed to understand the effect of mulching (i.e., cutting and leaving the crushed biomass to decompose in situ) on above- and below-ground plant functional traits and whether this practice may be a potential tool for enhancing the phytoremediation of ...

Construction costs and tradeoffs in carnivorous pitcher plant leaves: towards a pitcher leaf economics spectrum. [PDF]

open access: yesAnn Bot
Abstract • Background Leaf economic theory holds that physiological constraints to photosynthesis have a role in the coordinated evolution of multiple leaf traits, an idea that can be extended to carnivorous plants occupying a particular trait space that is constrained by key costs and benefits.

The plant economics spectrum is structured by leaf habits and growth forms across subtropical species [PDF]

open access: yesTree Physiology, 2016
The plant economics spectrum that integrates the combination of leaf and wood syndromes provides a useful framework for the examination of species strategies at the whole-plant level. However, it remains unclear how species that differ in leaf habits and growth forms are integrated within the plant economics spectrum in subtropical forests. We measured

Mycorrhizae-associated belowground economics mediate microbial life history strategy in temperate forests

open access: yesGeoderma
The co-evolution of plant roots, mycorrhizal fungi, and soil saprotrophic microorganisms shapes underground resource acquisition strategies of plants. However, the knowledge of how mycorrhizal associations affect plant belowground economics strategy and ...

Plant Functional Traits Are the Mediators in Regulating Effects of Abiotic Site Conditions on Aboveground Carbon Stock-Evidence From a 30 ha Tropical Forest Plot

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Understanding the relative contribution of abiotic and biotic factors to the formation of ecosystem functioning across scales is vital to evaluate ecosystem services.

Shoot growth of woody trees and shrubs is predicted by maximum plant height and associated traits

open access: yes, 2017
1. The rate of elongation and thickening of individual branches (shoots) varies across plant species. This variation is important for the outcome of competition and other plant-plant interactions.
