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...

Plant diversity and functional trait variation
Plant diversity and functional trait variation Variation in plant traits may potentially influence niche segregation at increasing plant diversity. Gubsch et al. investigate above-ground traits associated with light and...
