Modeling terrestrial carbon and water dynamics across climatic gradients: does plant trait diversity matter?

The New phytologist - 1 Jan 2016

Pappas Christoforos, Fatichi Simone, Burlando Paolo

Abstract excerpt

Plant trait diversity in many vegetation models is crudely represented using a discrete classification of a handful of 'plant types' (named plant functional types; PFTs). The parameterization of PFTs reflects mean properties of observed plant traits over broad categories ignoring most of the inter- and intraspecific plant trait variability. Taking advantage of a multivariate leaf-trait distribution (leaf...
