Interspecific variation in leaf functional and defensive traits in oak species and its underlying climatic drivers.

The Plant Economic Spectrum organizes these traits along a continuum from conservative to acquisitive resource use strategies and shows how the abiotic environment governs a species' position along the continuum.
