TL;DR: Reliable quantification of the leaf economics spectrum and its interaction with climate will prove valuable for modelling nutrient fluxes and vegetation boundaries under changing land-use and climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes and consequences of variation in leaf mass per area (LMA): a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Responses constructed from experiments under controlled conditions showed that LMA varied strongly with light, temperature and submergence, moderately with CO2 concentration and nutrient and water stress, and marginally under most other conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the generality of global leaf trait relationships
Ian J. Wright,Peter B. Reich,Johannes H. C. Cornelissen,Daniel S. Falster,Eric Garnier,Kouki Hikosaka,Byron B. Lamont,William G. Lee,Jacek Oleksyn,Jacek Oleksyn,Noriyuki Osada,Noriyuki Osada,Hendrik Poorter,Rafael Villar,David I. Warton,Mark Westoby +15 more
TL;DR: Global-scale quantification of relationships between plant traits gives insight into the evolution of the world's vegetation, and is crucial for parameterizing vegetation-climate models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global climatic drivers of leaf size.
Ian J. Wright,Ning Dong,Ning Dong,Vincent Maire,Vincent Maire,I. Colin Prentice,I. Colin Prentice,Mark Westoby,Sandra Díaz,Rachael V. Gallagher,Bonnie F. Jacobs,Robert M. Kooyman,Elizabeth A. Law,Elizabeth A. Law,Michelle R. Leishman,Ülo Niinemets,Peter B. Reich,Peter B. Reich,Lawren Sack,Rafael Villar,Han Wang,Han Wang,Peter Wilf +22 more
TL;DR: It is shown that daytime and nighttime leaf-to-air temperature differences are key to geographic gradients in leaf size, which can enrich “next-generation” vegetation models in which leaf temperature and water use during photosynthesis play key roles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced wheat yield by biochar addition under different mineral fertilization levels
José Antonio Alburquerque,Pablo F. Salazar,Vidal Barrón,José Torrent,María Carmen del Campillo,Antonio Gallardo,Rafael Villar +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of two types of biochar from agricultural wastes typical of Southern Spain: wheat straw and olive tree pruning, combined with different mineral fertilization levels on the growth and yield of wheat (Triticum durum L. cv. Vitron) were evaluated.
