Journal ArticleDOI
Let the concept of trait be functional
Cyrille Violle,Marie-Laure Navas,Denis Vile,Elena Kazakou,Claire Fortunel,Irène Hummel,Eric Garnier +6 more
TL;DR: An unambiguous definition of plant trait is given, with a particular emphasis on functional trait, and it is argued that this can be achieved by developing "integration functions" which can be grouped into functional response (community level) and effect (ecosystem level) algorithms.
Journal ArticleDOI
From Plant Traits to Plant Communities: A Statistical Mechanistic Approach to Biodiversity
TL;DR: A quantitative method, analogous to those used in statistical mechanics, to predict how biodiversity will vary across environments, which plant species from a species pool will be found in which relative abundances in a given environment, and which plant traits determine community assembly is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the effects of land-use change on plant traits, communities and ecosystem functioning in grasslands: a standardized methodology and lessons from an application to 11 European sites.

Ansquer,Helena Castro,Pablo Cruz,Jiri Dolezal,Ove Eriksson,Claire Fortunel,Helena Freitas,Carly Golodets,Karl Grigulis,Claire Jouany,Elena Kazakou,Jaime Kigel,Michael Kleyer,Veiko Lehsten,Jan Lepš,Tonia Meier,Robin J.

Theau,Aurélie Thébault,Denis Vile,Denis Vile,Maria P. Zarovali +32 more
TL;DR: This work shows the applicability of a set of protocols that can be widely applied to assess the impacts of global change drivers on species, communities and ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific Leaf Area and dry Matter Content Estimate thickness in Laminar Leaves
Denis Vile,Eric Garnier,Bill Shipley,G. Laurent,Marie-Laure Navas,Catherine Roumet,Sandra Lavorel,Sandra Díaz,John G. Hodgson,Francisco Lloret,Guy F. Midgley,Hendrik Poorter,M.C. Rutherford,Peter J. Wilson,Ian J. Wright +14 more
TL;DR: Leaf thickness can be estimated by (SLA x LDMC)(-1), allowing leaf thickness to be derived from easily and widely measured leaf traits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of Arabidopsis ECERIFERUM1 Promotes Wax Very-Long-Chain Alkane Biosynthesis and Influences Plant Response to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses
Brice Bourdenx,Amélie Bernard,Frédéric Domergue,Stéphanie Pascal,Amandine Léger,Dominique Roby,Marjorie Pervent,Denis Vile,Richard P. Haslam,Johnathan A. Napier,René Lessire,Jérôme Joubès +11 more
TL;DR: The characterization of the Arabidopsis ECERIFERUM1 (CER1) gene predicted to encode an enzyme involved in alkane biosynthesis demonstrates that CER1 controls alkanes biosynthesis and is highly linked to responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
