Relative climatic, edaphic and management controls of plant functional trait signatures
Original language description
To identify the relative roles of climatic, edaphic and management factors in controlling the weighted mean traits of vegetation. Eleven sites in Europe and one in Israel undergoing transitions in land use. Standardised methods were used to collect information on species traits and attributes from plots covering a range of land uses at each site. This was combined with abundance data to create a plot x trait matrix. Variance partitioning was used to identify the relative roles of climate, soil and management on the weighted and unweighted mean traits of the vegetation in the full data set, and the data set divided into vegetative traits (including life-form, clonality, defence and a range of leaf traits) and traits linked to regeneration via seeds (including seed mass, dispersal and pollination mechanism). Variance partitioning of the full data set showed that climate (18.7%), explained more variance in the weighted mean traits of the vegetation than climate and soil together (9.2), so
