Why does low intensity, long-day lighting promote growth in Petunia, Impatiens, and tomato? [PDF]

, 2008
Numerous reports demonstrate that low intensity, long-day (LD) lighting treatments can promote growth. However, there are conflicting suggestions as to the mechanisms involved.

Quantifying leaf trait covariation and its controls across climates and biomes [PDF]

, 2018
Plant functional ecology requires the quantification of trait variation and its controls. Field measurements on 483 species at 48 sites across China were used to analyse variation in leaf traits, and assess their predictability.

Plant community traits can explain variation in productivity of selective logging forests after different restoration times

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The emerging concept of plant community traits offers a promising tool for explaining the variations in forest productivity. We measured the leaf thickness (LT), leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) of 234 plant ...

Effects of abandonment on plant diversity in seminatural grasslands along soil and climate gradients [PDF]

, 2017
Questions: What are the effects of abandonment on plant diversity in semi-natural grasslands? Do the effects of abandonment on taxonomic and functional diversity vary along environmental gradients of climate and soil?

Leaf plasticity of species under different light intensities in an urban rainforest

Diversitas Journal, 2023
Leaf characteristics of plants are useful to understand vegetation changes under different environmental pressures because species deal with variations in the levels of luminosity during the process of ecological succession.

Growth Performance Is Driven by Site Conditions and Moderated by Functional Trait Plasticity in <i>Quercus robur</i> and <i>Prunus avium</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Growth performance in Quercus robur and Prunus avium is strongly influenced by site conditions, but also by functional traits (Specific Leaf Area, spring leaf‐out date), which show moderate plasticity in response to climate. These traits differ among provenances of the same species, and there is variability in trait values within the provenances.

Nutrient addition and herbivore exclusion alter plant traits and biomass via distinct mechanisms: intraspecific variability vs species turnover. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Soil nutrients and vertebrate herbivory are key ecological factors with opposite and interactive effects on grassland plant traits and biomass. Partitioning trait changes into species turnover and intraspecific change provides a mechanistic linkage between trait shifts and biomass responses.

Effect of light on the growth and photosynthesis of an invasive shrub in its native range [PDF]

, 2014
Invasive species' success may depend on ecophysiological attributes present in their native area or those derived from changes that took place in the invaded environment.

Functional ecology characteristics of key community-forming aquatic and semi-aquatic plant species in Teletskoye Lake (Republic of Altai, Russia)

Acta Biologica Sibirica
This study explores five primary morpho-functional traits – photosynthetic canopy height, leaf mass, leaf area, specific leaf area, and seed mass – of 17 community-forming species of aquatic and semiaquatic plants in Teletskoye Lake: Alopecurus aequalis,
