Plant–soil feedbacks: role of plant functional group and plant traits
Journal of Ecology, 2016 Summary Plant–soil feedback (PSF), plant trait and functional group concepts advanced our understanding of plant community dynamics, but how they are interlinked is poorly known. To test how plant functional groups (FGs: graminoids, small herbs, tall herbs, legumes) and plant traits relate to PSF, we grew 48 grassland species in sterilized soil ...

Environmental niche characterization of plant functional groups
2023Ecosystem functioning is thought to be mediated by traits of organisms living within phylogenetic constraints. Plant groups of similar traits (functional groups) are likely to fit into a similar environmental niche. Characterizing functional groups’ niche space along environmental gradients would allow us to better understand patterns of ...

Plant functional groups in a heterogeneous environment
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 2006Abstract Species membership of plant functional groups and the relationship to soil variables were studied in two paddocks with long‐term differentiated management in New Zealand hill country. The microrelief of the paddocks contained three slope classes (low, medium, and high) with contrasting soil variables.

Functional groups of rare plants differ in levels of imperilment
American Journal of Botany, 2008Comparative examination of a large sample of plant species can reveal important aspects of life history that influence the ecology and distribution of taxa and their vulnerability to local extinction. We investigated whether functional groups of 71 rare plant species with contrasting life history traits differed in terms of population losses over time,

Defining plant functional groups to guide rare plant management
Plant Ecology, 2009To effectively manage plant populations for conservation, there is a need to provide reliable information on the conditions required for maintaining viable populations. This is particularly true for the management of populations of rare plant taxa. Western Australia contains over 45% of Australia’s gazetted rare or threatened flora, 80% of which are ...

Plant Functional Group Diversity Promotes Soil Protist Diversity
Protist, 2003We tested whether effects of plant diversity can propagate through food webs, down to heterotrophic protists not linked directly to plants. To this end we synthesised grassland ecosystems with varying numbers of plant functional groups (FGN) and assessed corresponding changes in testate amoebae communities. The number of plant species was kept constant.

Functional groups of plant pathogens in agroecosystems: a review
European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2018The concept of functional groups (set of species having similar physiological, ecological or life-history traits) has been largely used for plants, microorganisms, nematodes or insects in agroecosystems. However, this concept has been rarely applied to describe assemblages of plant pathogens. Yet, classification systems in plant pathology resemble this

The Implementation of NC Plant in Functional and Cellular Groupings
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1981In this work the subject of NC (numerically controlled) machine tool investment is viewed in the context of two quite different manufacturing systems. The selection of an NC plant is examined in a study exemplifying a highly profitable and traditional functionally organized plant; here the machine selection process itself is examined and particular ...

Multifunctionality changes with plant functional groups in Antarctica
EcologyAbstract Plant functional group is increasingly recognized as vital for supporting multiple ecosystem functions simultaneously. However, variations in “ecosystem multifunctionality” relative to plant functional groups remain unclear, particularly in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems.
