molecular formula abundance
percent cover
The percentage of ground area covered by a particular plant species when viewed from above
CO2 fertilization
Enhanced plant growth due to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations
Calvin cycle
Relative Euclidean Distance
biogeographical patterns
Geographic patterns in biodiversity and chemical diversity across latitudinal and environmental gradients
body size-temperature rule
Higher temperatures shorten larval developmental period leading to smaller adults, where body size exhibits temperature-mediated variation
community weighted mean
competition
litter quality
maximum temperature
Maximum temperature of warmest month, capturing seasonality in contrast to average annual temperatures
root mass depth distributions
spatial gradients
NPP
apomixis
asexual reproduction via seeds
apparency hypothesis
endophytes
Internal aboveground symbionts living within plant tissues that can produce alkaloids for plant defense
LM
detection probability
distribution
emergence weight
space-for-time substitution
Assumption that spatial differences in environmental conditions can predict temporal responses to environmental change
turnover times
Functional Trait-based Approach
LDMC
Publication bias
SLA
bloom formation
extracellular enzyme activity
herbarium collections
Preserved plant specimens that are picked in the field, pressed flat, dried and attached to archival-grade paper with relevant information recorded, then stored in climate-controlled cabinets
leaf number
molecular evolution rate
Rate of nonsynonymous substitutions per nonsynonymous site normalized by synonymous substitutions per synonymous site (dN/dS)
nonlinear process interactions
scaling relationships
temporal overlap
trait covariance
wood traits
Accuracy
GEP
Gloger's rule
A relationship between plumage coloration and climate variation, predicting that darker coloration due to pigmentation occurred in warmer, more humid tropical regions while lighter colors occurred in ...
