TLDR
A series of competing path models relating interspecific patterns between specific leaf area, leaf nitrogen content, net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance are presented and tested against data from 22 species of herbaceous plants grown under controlled conditions with contrasting irradiance and nutrient supply rates.About:

TL;DR: TRY as discussed by the authors is a global database of plant traits, including morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs, which can be used for a wide range of research from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography.
Book
Structural Equation Modeling and Natural Systems
TL;DR: In this article, structural equation models with observed variables were used to understand plant diversity patterns in ecological communities, and they were applied to understand the temporal dynamics of a plant-insect interaction.

A global study of relationships between leaf traits, climate and soil measures of nutrient fertility
Jenny C. Ordoñez,Peter M. van Bodegom,Jan-Philip M. Witte,Ian J. Wright,Peter B. Reich,Rien Aerts +5 more
TL;DR: The first global quantification of the trade-off between traits associated with growth and resource conservation ‘strategies’ in relation to soil fertility is provided and relationships of leaf traits to soil nutrients were stronger than those of growth form versus soil nutrients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental trade-offs generating the worldwide leaf economics spectrum
TL;DR: It is shown that the relationships among these variables can best be explained by assuming a necessary trade-off between allocation to structural tissues versus liquid phase processes and an evolutionary tradeoff between leaf photosynthetic rates, construction costs, and leaf longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecific difference in the photosynthesis-nitrogen relationship: patterns, physiological causes, and ecological importance.
TL;DR: Since plants cannot maximise both PNUE and leaf toughness, there is a trade-off between photosynthesis and persistence, which enables the existence of species with various leaf characteristics on the earth.

From tropics to tundra: global convergence in plant functioning
TL;DR: These results demonstrate convergent evolution and global generality in plant functioning, despite the enormous diversity of plant species and biomes, and have significant implications for global scale modeling of vegetation-atmosphere CO2 exchange.

Generality of leaf trait relationships: a test across six biomes

TL;DR: Testing for biome differences in the slope and intercept of interspecific relationships among leaf traits for more than 100 species in six distinct biomes of the Americas suggests a predictable set of scaling relationships among key leaf morphological, chemical, and metabolic traits that are replicated globally among terrestrial ecosystems regardless of biome or vegetation type.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of carbon balance and branching patterns in the growth of woody species is discussed, and a three-dimensional perspective of the internal leaf structure is presented.
