TL;DR: Reliable quantification of the leaf economics spectrum and its interaction with climate will prove valuable for modelling nutrient fluxes and vegetation boundaries under changing land-use and climate.
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
Plant functional markers capture ecosystem properties during secondary succession
Eric Garnier,Jacques Cortez,Georges Billès,Marie-Laure Navas,Catherine Roumet,Max Debussche,G. Laurent,Alain Blanchard,David Aubry,Astrid Bellmann,Cathy Neill,Jean-Patrick Toussaint +11 more
TL;DR: The three easily measurable traits tested, specific leaf area, leaf dry matter content, and nitrogen concentration, provide a simple means to scale up from organ to ecosystem functioning in complex plant communities and be used to assess the impacts of community changes on ecosystem properties induced, in particular, by global change drivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling environmental change through the community-level: a trait-based response-and-effect framework for plants
Katharine N. Suding,Sandra Lavorel,F. S. Chapin,Johannes H. C. Cornelissen,Sandra Díaz,Erik Garnier,Deborah E. Goldberg,David U. Hooper,Stephan T. Jackson,Marie-Laure Navas +9 more
TL;DR: This article developed a response-and-effect functional framework, concentrating on how the relationships among species' response, effect, and abundance can lead to general predictions concerning the magnitude and direction of the influence of environmental change on function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant growth and competition at elevated CO2 : on winners, losers and functional groups.
TL;DR: The effects of increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations on vegetative growth and competitive performance were evaluated, using five meta-analyses, and no systematic differences were found between slow- and fast-growing species.
