Martin and Issac quantified size-dependent variation in eight leaf traits in a single coffee genotype (Coffea arabica var. Caturra) in managed agroecosystems.
Native and invading plants vary differently in leaf shape in response to climate. Curiously, sometimes the native plants are more acquisitive than the invaders.
In Grimeβs C-S-R strategy model, plant ecological strategies vary between ruderals (R), stress-tolerators (S) and competitors (C). These variations are assumed to reflect adaptation of species to the environment...
Methods for analysing the response of vegetation to land use The assessment of ecological gradients and functional composition of plant communities will affect subsequent predictions as to how those communities will...
Plant resource-use strategies and phenotypic plasticity In subalpine grasslands, where a large diversity of habitats can occur over short distances, differing resource-use strategies will determine which species...
