Contrasting effects of intraspecific trait variation on trait-based niches and performance of legumes in plant mixtures.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Roscher Christiane, Schumacher Jens, Schmid Bernhard, Schulze Ernst-Detlef

Abstract excerpt

Niche differentiation, assumed to be a key mechanism of species coexistence, requires that species differ in their functional traits. So far it remains unclear to which extent trait plasticity leads to niche shifts of species at higher plant diversity, thereby increasing or decreasing niche overlap between species. To analyse this question it is convenient to measure niches indirectly via the variation in...
