Vive la différence: plant functional diversity matters to ecosystem processes
Sandra Díaz,Marcelo Cabido +1 more
TL;DR: Crossfertilization between approaches based on species richness on the one hand, and on functional traits and types on the other, is a promising way of gaining mechanistic insight into the links between plant diversity and ecosystem processes and contributing to practical management for the conservation of diversity andcosystem services.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plant traits that drive ecosystems: evidence from three continents.

TL;DR: Whether the screening techniques remain operational in widely contrasted circumstances, to test for the existence of axes of variation in the particular sets of traits, and for their links with ‘harder’ traits of proven importance to ecosystem functioning are discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant functional types and ecosystem function in relation to global change
Sandra Díaz,Marcelo Cabido +1 more
TL;DR: The results confirmed, over a wide range of climatic conditions, the occurrence of broad recurrent patterns of association among plant traits reported for other floras; namely trade-offs between high investment in photosynthesis and growth on the one hand, and preferential allocation to storage and defence on the other.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant functional traits and environmental filters at a regional scale
TL;DR: This is probably the first attempt to detect, on a quantitative, statistically conservative basis, consistent linkages between climatic factors and numerous plant traits, over a broad spectrum of environmental conditions and plant growth forms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Leaf structure and defence control litter decomposition rate across species and life forms in regional floras on two continents
Johannes H. C. Cornelissen,Natalia Pérez-Harguindeguy,Sandra Díaz,J. Philip Grime,Barbara Marzano,Marcelo Cabido,Fernanda Vendramini,Bruno Enrico Leone Cerabolini +7 more
TL;DR: Slow-growing evergreens might maintain their position in infertile ecosystems through leaf traits that help them to conserve their nutrients efficiently and to keep nutrient mineralization low, thereby not allowing potentially fast-growing deciduous species to outcompete them.
