Concepts

The rate at which plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose using light energy, measured as gas exchange

Chemical compounds emitted by flowers that contribute to floral scent and can influence pollinator attraction and plant-herbivore interactions

Per-capita population growth rate λ calculated as the dominant eigenvalue of the projection matrix at equilibrium

Percentage of leaf biomass composed of water, calculated as difference between wet and dry weight divided by wet weight

Chemical compounds emitted by plants as signals to other organisms, interrelated with atmospheric chemistry and climate change

Analytical technique combining gas chromatography separation with mass spectrometry identification for analyzing volatile compounds

Population growth rate (λ) integrating all vital rate components equivalent to average fitness component across a lineage or population

The ability to maintain fitness after damage, measured through both genetic and environmental components of tolerance including resource acquisition and storage traits, and traits involved in pollinat...
