Plant functional groups modulate variation and covariation in leaf and seed traits across years.

Abstract excerpt

Leaf and seed traits are key determinants of plant growth and reproduction, mediating how plants respond to environmental change. Leaf and seed traits can also covary. For example, species with larger seeds tend to have larger leaves. However, the covariation between leaf and seed traits has not been fully resolved due to the confounding effects of plant functional groups and climate variability. Using a sample...
