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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant species traits are the predominant control on litter decomposition rates within biomes worldwide

TL;DR: The magnitude of species-driven differences is much larger than previously thought and greater than climate-driven variation, and the decomposability of a species' litter is consistently correlated with that species' ecological strategy within different ecosystems globally, representing a new connection between whole plant carbon strategy and biogeochemical cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plant traits that drive ecosystems: evidence from three continents.
Sandra Díaz,John G. Hodgson,K. Thompson,Marcelo Cabido,Johannes H. C. Cornelissen,Adel Jalili,Gabriel Montserrat-Martí,J. P. Grime,Fatemeh Zarrinkamar,Younes Asri,S. R.

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
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global patterns of leaf mechanical properties

Sosinski,Sunshine A. Van Bael,David I. Warton,Ian J. Wright,S. Joseph Wright,Nayuta Yamashita +27 more
TL;DR: It is discovered that toughness per density contributed a surprisingly large fraction to variation in mechanical resistance, larger than the fractions contributed by lamina thickness and tissue density, and was associated with long leaf lifespan especially in forest understory.
