Community‐level economics spectrum of fine‐roots driven by nutrient limitations in subalpine forests [PDF]

Journal of Ecology, 2019
Abstract Fine‐root traits show remarkable variation with plant community structure and environmental shifts, but there is limited understanding of how trait covariation that exists among fine‐root traits shifts among different communities, especially in forests.

Vertical root distribution and biomass allocation along proglacial chronosequences in Central Switzerland

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2021
Investigating changes in belowground functional plant traits is an important step toward a better understanding of vegetation dynamics during primary succession.

Time for a plant structural economics spectrum [PDF]

, 2019
We argue that tree and crown structural diversity can and should be integrated in the whole-plant economics spectrum. Ecologists have found that certain functional trait combinations have been more viable than others during evolution, generating a trait ...

Impacts of Arctic Shrubs on Root Traits and Belowground Nutrient Cycles Across a Northern Alaskan Climate Gradient

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Deciduous shrubs are expanding across the graminoid-dominated nutrient-poor arctic tundra. Absorptive root traits of shrubs are key determinants of nutrient acquisition strategy from tundra soils, but the variations of shrub root traits within and among ...

Linking functional composition moments of the sub-Mediterranean ecotone with environmental drivers

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
IntroductionFunctional trait-based approaches are extensively applied to the study of mechanisms governing community assembly along environmental gradients. These approaches have been classically based on studying differences in mean values among species,

Choose Wisely: Great Variation among Genotypes of Promising Paludiculture Crop Phragmites australis

Plants, 2023
Measures mitigating the climate crisis, such as paludiculture, which is the agriculture on rewetted peatlands, are urgently needed. The cosmopolitan species Phragmites australis has the potential to be used in paludiculture worldwide but is known for its

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.

What role do dauciform roots play? Responses of Carex filispica to trampling in alpine meadows based on functional traits

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
In China, dauciform roots were hardly studied and only reported in alpine meadows, where sedges showed a different tendency from other functional groups such as grasses and forbs with degradation.

Long memory and fractional integration in high frequency financial time series [PDF]

, 2010
This paper analyses the long-memory properties of high frequency financial time series. It focuses on temporal aggregation and the influence that this might have on the degree of dependence of the series.

Fine root morphology is phylogenetically structured, but nitrogen is related to the plant economics spectrum in temperate trees [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2014
Summary Plant functional traits have revealed trade‐offs related to life‐history adaptations, geographical distributions, and ecosystem processes. Fine roots are essential in plant resource acquisition and play an important role in soil carbon cycling.
