Scaling up plant traits to species performance based on cost-benefit balances: Towards general concepts of trait-based community ecology

Organizers: Yoshiko Iida (Hokkaido University), Yusuke Onoda (Kyushu University), Hiroko Kurokawa (Tohoku University), Toshihiro Yamada (Hiroshima University)


Trade-offs among plant traits lead to various plant strategies, which play important roles in the plant specialization and coexistence within a range of environment. There is still a large gap in our understanding between physiological/morphological traits and species specialization/coexistence mechanisms. We will present studies which integrate plant traits from a shoot, to whole plant and to their assembling community; thus aiming to understand how plants succeed and coexist in different environments. We will discuss our studies to develop general concepts based on relationships from plant traits and their trade-offs to vegetation structure, functioning and species diversity.
