Disentangling coordination among functional traits using an individual-centred model: impact on plant performance at intra- and inter-specific levels.
BACKGROUND:Plant functional traits co-vary along strategy spectra, thereby defining trade-offs for resource acquisition and utilization amongst other processes. A main objective of plant ecology is to quantify the correlations among traits and ask why some of them are sufficiently closely coordinate...
