    Notes: [Auszug] Bringing together leaf trait data spanning 2,548 species and 175 sites we describe, for the first time at global scale, a universal spectrum of leaf economics consisting of key chemical, structural and physiological properties. The spectrum runs from quick to slow return on investments of nutrients ...

    PLANT ECOLOGICAL STRATEGIES: Some Leading Dimensions of Variation Between Species (2002)
    Palo Alto, Calif. : Annual Reviews

    Notes: Abstract An important aim of plant ecology is to identify leading dimensions of ecological variation among species and to understand the basis for them. Dimensions that can readily be measured would be especially useful, because they might offer a path towards improved worldwide synthesis across the thousands of field experiments and ecophysiological studies that use just a few species each. Four dimensions are reviewed here. The leaf mass per area-leaf lifespan (LMA-LL) dimension expresses slow turnover of plant parts (at high LMA and long LL), long nutrient residence times, and slow response to favorable growth conditions. The seed mass-seed output (SM-SO) dimension is an important predictor of dispersal to establishment opportunities (seed output) and of establishment success in the face of hazards (seed mass). The LMA-LL and SM-SO dimensions are each underpinned by a single, comprehensible tradeoff, and their consequences are fairly well understood. The leaf size-twig size (LS-TS) spectrum has obvious consequences for the texture of canopies, but the costs and benefits of large versus small leaf and twig size are poorly understood. The height dimension has universally been seen as ecologically important and included in ecological strategy schemes. Nevertheless, height includes several tradeoffs and adaptive elements, which ideally should be treated separately. Each of these four dimensions varies at the scales of climate zones and of site types within landscapes. This variation can be interpreted as adaptation to the physical environment. Each dimension also varies widely among coexisting species. Most likely this within-site variation arises because the ecological opportunities for each species depend strongly on which other species are present, in other words, because the set of species at a site is a stable mixture of strategies.

    Seed size and survival in the soil in arid Australia (2003)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Pty
    Austral ecology 28 (2003), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1442-9993

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract We investigated the relationship between seed size and seed survival in the soil in 67 species from arid Australia. There was a very weak, marginally significant positive relationship between the viability of fresh seeds and diaspore mass. However, by the time seeds had been buried in the soil for 1 year in nylon mesh bags, there was a highly significant positive relationship between diaspore mass and diaspore viability. Over the range of seed masses observed, a tenfold increase in diaspore mass was associated with a threefold increase in the odds of surviving 1 year of burial in the soil. Thus, large-seeded species were favoured over small-seeded species during this important selective process. However, the magnitude of this advantage was small compared with the advantage experienced by small-seeded species during seed production. We also investigated aspects of diaspore morphology in relation to viability retention during burial. We found no relationship between seed survival and the amount of protective tissue per unit diaspore surface area. Diaspore mass was a better predictor of survival than was diaspore surface area.

    Seed mass and seedling establishment after fire in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Sydney, Australia (2004)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Science Pty

    Details
    ISSN: 1442-9993

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract  Relationships between seed mass and several aspects of plant regeneration ecology were investigated in a post-fire environment in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park near Sydney, Australia. We found a significant positive relationship between seed mass and time to seedling emergence (P 〈 0.001) and a strong negative relationship between seed mass and time between emergence and production of the first true leaf (P 〈 0.001). Surprisingly, we found no relationship between seed mass and seedling establishment (P = 0.21). It seems most likely that this lack of relationship is a result of the many stochastic factors affecting seedling establishment during any given recruitment episode at any given site. A cause of mortality was assigned to 56% of the 781 seedlings that died during the present study. There was no relationship between cause of death and seed mass (P = 0.28). Of the seedlings for which the cause of death was known, 57% were killed by herbivory and 21% were killed by drought. Seedling–seedling competition affected only one species.

    Notes: [Auszug] IN THE years between sabbaticals, the thinking of Australian ecologists can become developed - fixed, even - to the point where their ideas cannot be driven extinct just because they are inconsistent with what the fashionable majority in the northern hemisphere thinks. That is one possible reason ...

    Notes: [Auszug] WESTOBY REPLIES-I thank Dr White for his helpful remarks. Firstly, he is quite correct that the scaling of the y axis in my Fi'g. 3 was X 10 too high; I apologise for confusing readers. Figure 3 was not intended as a simulacrum of a real experiment, but as a demonstration that the response of LAR ...
