Characterizing tree trait variance over spatiotemporal scales.

Abstract excerpt

Beyond the study of the mean, functional ecology lacks a concise characterization of trait variance patterns across spatiotemporal scales. Traits are measured in different ways, using different metrics, and at different spatial (and rarely temporal) scales. This study expands on previous research by applying a ubiquitous and widely used empirical model-Taylor's Power Law-to functional trait variance with the goal...
