Journal ArticleDOI

New handbook for standardised measurement of plant functional traits worldwide

TL;DR: This new handbook has a better balance between whole-plant traits, leaf traits, root and stem traits and regenerative traits, and puts particular emphasis on traits important for predicting species’ effects on key ecosystem properties.
Book ChapterDOI

Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail?

TL;DR: Llavorel et al. as discussed by the authors presented a study of sustainable ecosystems in the context of biofeedback in the field of ecology and evolutionary biology, where the authors proposed a method to predict the evolution of ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Suites of root traits differ between annual and perennial species growing in the field.

TL;DR: The results suggest the existence at the root level of an acquisitive vs conservative syndrome consistent among families similar to that previously reported for above-ground traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional traits of alien plants across contrasting climatic and land-use regimes: do aliens join the locals or try harder than them?

TL;DR: The findings reinforce the idea that a universal suit of attributes is unlikely to explain alien plant distribution and stress the need for caution when mixing major life-forms in comparative plant trait analysis.
