“…(Berendse and Elberse, 1990;Reich et al, 1997;Aerts and Chapin, 2000;Diaz et al, 2004;Wright et al, 2004). These species invest their resources in tissues that have a high expected rate of return on investment (Lambers and Poorter, 1992), and it appears that high foraging precision may also play a role in this resource-uptake strategy (see Berendse et al, 2007). This suite of correlated traits fell along the first axis of the PCA and explained nearly two-thirds of the trait variation among the species included in this study (Fig.…”

“…Fast-growing species may occupy high-nutrient patches more rapidly, leading to a higher measured foraging precision of these species in shortduration studies (Fransen et al, 1999). In other words, it is possible that most species are able to proliferate roots in nutrient patches (Berendse et al, 2007), and the main source of variation in measured foraging precision among species is actually due to differences in growth rate. Conversely, fast-growing species might quickly fill the entire soil volume in a small pot experiment, leading to a lower measured foraging precision studies of longer duration.…”

We suggest there is a need not only to examine correlations between foraging precision and other plant traits, but to expand our notion of what traits might be important in determining the resource-foraging ability of plants. By placing foraging ability in the broader context of plant traits and resource economy strategies, it will be possible to develop a new and empirically supported framework to understand how plasticity in resource uptake and allocation affect plant fitness and community structure.

“…The phenotypic response of a plant exposed to limited water or nutrients is increased carbon allocation to root biomass (Berendse et al 2007). However, plants from nutrient‐poor habitats do not have higher root‐C investment than plants from nutrient‐rich sites (Elberse & Berendse 1993).…”

Adaptive-trait correlations in plant ecology are often calculated among species, but in order to develop and characterize plant materials of target species for restoration, intraspecific comparisons are of greatest relevance. Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey (bottlebrush squirreltail) is an important component of sagebrush-steppe communities in the northern Intermountain West, United States. We evaluated 32 accessions of E. elymoides subspecies C, a newly recognized unnamed taxon, in the field and greenhouse. Our objectives were to assess genetic diversity for putatively adaptive traits, to elucidate biological relationships among biomass, morphological, and phenological traits through correlation analysis, and to gather evidence suggesting whether these traits might be truly adaptive, that is, related to collection-site variables. We observed a positive correlation (r = 0.73; p < 0.01) between greenhouse shoot and root biomass among accessions, suggesting that shoot and root biomass are not in an inherent trade-off relationship across accessions. In addition, accessions with higher greenhouse shoot biomass possessed lower specific leaf area (r = −0.43; p < 0.05) and lower specific root length (r = −0.47, p < 0.05). Correlations between greenhouse and field-measured productivity traits were not significant (p > 0.05), indicating seedling performance is not predictive of mature-plant performance. Elevation was the collection-site variable most closely correlated with plantmeasured traits, particularly phenological dates, whereas average annual precipitation was the least significant variable. Therefore, elevation may be used as an easily applied metric to match subspecies C plant material to restoration site in the northern Intermountain West.

“…Chapin et al (1990) showed the shoot partially and/or temporarily lost the capacity to produce photosynthates, as accumulation was largely dependent on resource allocation to storage. However, allocation of resources to storage directly competes with growth (Berendse et al 2007). Moreover, growth patterns in different forest species might differ as a consequence of differential biomass allocation to shoots and/or roots (Ericsson 1995).…”

“…Field evidence demonstrated that both processes were limited by mineral nutrient availability (Pasquini & Santiago 2011). Furthermore, the rate of carbon gain is a function of the photosynthetic rate, respiration, and tissue loss, which typically exhibits interspecific and environmental variability (Berendse et al 2007, Kitajima 2007, Cuesta et al 2010.…”
