Jennifer L. Funk,Julie E. Larson,Gregory M. Ames,Bradley J. Butterfield,Jeannine Cavender-Bares,Jennifer Firn,Daniel C. Laughlin,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier,Laura Williams,Justin P. Wright +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight recent work and outstanding questions in three areas: (i) selecting relevant traits; (ii) describing intraspecific trait variation and incorporating this variation into models; and (iii) scaling trait data to community and ecosystem-level processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work proposes broadening the range of morphological, physiological and biochemical seed traits to add new understanding on plant niches, population dynamics and community assembly and lays the foundation for a seed-trait functional network which will underpin and facilitate trait-based inferences.

Revisiting the Holy Grail: Using plant functional traits to understand ecological processes
Jennifer L. Funk,Julie E. Larson,Gregory M. Ames,Bradley J. Butterfield,Jeannine Cavender-Bares,Jennifer Firn,Daniel C. Laughlin,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier,Ariana E. Sutton-Grier,Laura Williams,Justin P. Wright +10 more
TL;DR: The utility of trait‐based approaches in ecology will benefit from efforts that demonstrate how these traits and indices influence organismal, community, and ecosystem processes across vegetation types, which may be achieved through meta‐analysis and enhancement of trait databases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regeneration: an overlooked aspect of trait‐based plant community assembly models
Julie E. Larson,Jennifer L. Funk +1 more
TL;DR: An existing community assembly framework is extended to conceptualize regeneration as a series of transitional processes whose outcomes are influenced by abiotic filters, biotic interactions and species traits, and key areas of progress needed to integrate regeneration traits into these efforts are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed and seedling traits affecting critical life stage transitions and recruitment outcomes in dryland grasses
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that traits associated with germination and emergence may have prevailing influences on restoration outcomes, and will underpin the ability to develop trait-based frameworks for overcoming recruitment barriers and facilitating recovery of degraded systems across the globe.
