Abstract: ABSTRACT Traits of the “leaf economics spectrum” (LES) relate to a functional trade‐off between slow and fast return on carbon investment, but it is not clear whether the globally observed trait‐relationships also hold in local… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Background and Aims While trait-based approaches have provided critical insights into general plant functioning, we lack a comprehensive quantitative view on plant strategies in flooded conditions. Plants adapted to flooded conditions have specific traits… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erac373
Abstract: Microbial inoculations or "biofertilizers" represent novel contributions to sustainable agriculture. While belowground mechanisms surrounding how biofertilizers enhance crop production are well described, their role in aboveground trait expression remains less well explored. We quantified infraspecific… read more here.

DOI: 10.15666/aeer/2306_1171711734
Abstract: . Garden plants are important components of urban ecosystems. Their ecological adaptability is directly affected by their leaf functional traits. The Leaf Economics Spectrum shows potential in revealing trade-off strategies between resource acquisition and conservation… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.927780
Abstract: Leaf traits of plants worldwide are classified according to the Leaf Economics Spectrum (LES), which links leaf functional traits to evolutionary life history strategies. As a continuum ranging from thicker, tough leaves that are low… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.939452
Abstract: A unique riparian ecosystem has been created as a result of anti-seasonal flooding after reservoir operations, which notably influences the distribution patterns of plant communities and their functional characteristics in the riparian zone. Plant functional… read more here.
