Carbohydrate storage and leaf biomass scaling in meadow plants
These findings imply that storage in herbs is probably governed by factors other than just the disturbance regime applied once in a growing season.

Drought strategies in perennial forage species
Cell membrane stability, which ensures dehydration tolerance of roots and meristems, is positively and negatively correlated to fructan and sucrose contents, respectively.
Phenotypic plasticity to light and nutrient availability alters functional trait ranking across eight perennial grassland species
Functional traits are often used as species-specific means in trait-based predictions of ecosystem processes, assuming that interspecific differences are greater than intraspecific trait variation. Although this...
