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.

Phylogenetic Overdispersion in Floridian Oak Communities
TL;DR: It is shown that the oaks are phylogenetically overdispersed because co‐occurring species are more distantly related than expected by chance, and oaks within the same clade show less niche overlap than expected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass allocation in plants: ontogeny or optimality? a test along three resource gradients
TL;DR: Growth analysis revealed that each species displayed significant plasticity in growth rates and substantial amounts of ontogenetic drift in root:shoot biomass ratios and ratios of leaf area to biomass across each of the three resource gradients.

Toward a causal explanation of plant invasiveness: seedling growth and life-history strategies of 29 pine (Pinus) species.
TL;DR: It is found that Seedling relative growth rate (RGR) and measures of invasiveness were positively associated across species as well as within phylogenetically independent contrasts and SLA was found to be the main component responsible for differences in RGR between invasive and noninvasive pines.
