Plant trait variation drives plant function, community composition and ecosystem processes.
However, our current understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies on …

In many regions of the world, the incidence and extent of drought spells are predicted to
increase which will create considerable pressure on global agricultural yields. Most likely …

Although numerous species distribution models have been developed, most were based on
insufficient distribution data or used older climate change scenarios. We aimed to quantify …

By means of meta‐analyses we determined how 70 traits related to plant anatomy,
morphology, chemistry, physiology, growth and reproduction are affected by daily light …

The tundra is warming more rapidly than any other biome on Earth, and the potential
ramifications are far-reaching because of global feedback effects between vegetation and …

Chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence induction (transient), measured by exposing dark-adapted
samples to high light, shows a polyphasic rise, which has been the subject of extensive …

Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally
consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions,,, but how these effects scale up …

Due to massive energetic investments in woody support structures, trees are subject to
unique physiological, mechanical, and ecological pressures not experienced by herbaceous …

Plants are exposed to heterogeneity in the environment where new stress factors (ie, climate
change, land use change, and invasiveness) are introduced, and where inter‐and …

Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …
