Meaningful traits for grouping plant species across arid ecosystems
(Springer Tokyo, 2016-05)
Grouping species may provide some degree of simplification to understand the ecological function of plants on key ecosystem processes. We asked whether groups of plant species based on morpho-chemical traits associated ...
Plant traits related to leaf decomposition processes in arid ecosystems of northern Patagonia
(Oxford University Press, 2019-04)
Aims: Plants play an important role in ecosystem processes. Functional meaning of trait variation in wide environmental gradients is well known but is scarcely known across narrow gradients. We analyze the variation of ...
Plant functional diversity and carbon storage- an empirical test in semiarid forest ecosystems
(British Ecological Society, 2013-01)
Summary 1. Carbon storage in vegetation and soil underpins climate regulation through carbon sequestration. Because plant species differ in their ability to capture, store and release carbon, the collective functional ...
Handbook of standardized protocols for collecting plant modularity traits
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2019-10)
Plant modularity traits relevant to functions of on-spot persistence, space occupancy, resprouting after disturbance, as well as resource storage, sharing, and foraging have been underrepresented in functional ecology so ...
A classification system for predicting invasiveness using climatic niche traits and global distribution models: application to alien plant species in Chile
(Pensoft, 2020)
Functional traits that predict plant invasiveness are a central issue in invasion ecology. However, in many cases they are difficult to determine, especially for a large set of species. Climatic niche traits can overcome ...
A research agenda for seed-trait functional ecology
(2019-03-01)
Trait-based approaches have improved our understanding of plant evolution, community assembly and ecosystem functioning. A major challenge for the upcoming decades is to understand the functions and evolution of early ...
Annual plant functional traits explain shrub facilitation in a desert community
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-01)
Question: For a desert where winter is the driest, harshest season we asked: does the effect of dominant shrubs (Bulnesia retama) on annual species depend on (1) the functional traits of the latter, (2) the season of the ...
Does hairiness matter in harare? Resolving controversy in global comparisons of plant trait responses to ecosystem disturbance
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2002-12)
Changes in plant cover and functional traits induced by grazing in the arid Patagonian Monte
(Elsevier Masson, 2013-06)
Grazing disturbance may affect the structure and functioning of arid rangelands. We analyzed the changes in plant cover and plant functional traits (plant height, SLA, N in green leaves) at the community, morphotype and ...
Fire and vegetation: Introduction to the special issue
(2022-01-01)
Fires are widespread disturbance events with many implications for different aspects of plant persistence and vegetation properties. Changing fire regimes can profoundly affect vegetation dynamics and ecosystem properties. ...
