Is age just a number if you’re a plant? How plant responses to the environment change with age

Trait sensitivity to the environment is most visible during earlier stages of development, after which intraspecific trait variation and relationships may stabilize.

Non-native plant species climb mountains in a different way to native species

One way invasive species spread through an area is by harnessing variability in traits, but this doesn’t match observations of invasive species on the slopes of Mount Teide.

Invaders and Natives show different variability in Hawaii

Native and invading plants vary differently in leaf shape in response to climate. Curiously, sometimes the native plants are more acquisitive than the invaders.

Intraspecific variability in specific leaf area and niche occupancy

How functional traits modify species niche occupancy and community assembly is a vital question in ecology. He et al. measure specific leaf area for over 5000 plants with more than 1700 observational locations.
