“…Islands are among the areas most threatened by the success of invasive plants (Denslow et al, 2009;Atwood & Meyerson, 2011). Current literature relates alien success in islands to several variables linked to humans, such as population density (Atwood & Meyerson, 2011;Traveset et al, 2014), the level of human impact (MacDonald et al, 1991;Monty et al, 2013), ecological traits such as genetic diversity (Hardman et al, 2012;Traveset et al, 2014), differences in phylogeny with native species (Bezeng et al, 2013), island area (Traveset et al, 2014), isolation and distance to the nearest continent (Traveset et al, 2014) and climate change (Yamashita et al, 2000). The possible relationship between bedrock K 2O concentrations and alien plant success remains mostly unexplored.…”

Aim Potassium (K) is the second most abundant nutrient in plant photosynthetic tissues after nitrogen (N). Thousands of physiological and metabolic studies in recent decades have established the fundamental role of K in plant function, especially in water-use efficiency and economy, and yet macroecological studies have mostly overlooked this nutrient. MethodsWe have reviewed available studies on the content, stoichiometry and roles of K in the soil-plant system and in terrestrial ecosystems. We have also reviewed the impacts of global change drivers on K content, stoichiometry and roles. ConclusionsThe current literature indicates that K, at a global level, is as limiting as N and phosphorus (P) for plant productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. Some degree of K limitation has been seen in up to 70% of all studied terrestrial ecosystems. However, in some areas atmospheric K deposition from human activities is greater than that from natural sources. We are far from understanding the K fluxes between the atmosphere and land, and the role of anthropogenic activities in these fluxes. The increasing aridity expected in wide areas of the world makes K more critical through its role in water-use efficiency. N deposition exerts a strong impact on the ecosystem K cycle, decreasing K availability and increasing K limitation. Plant invasive success is enhanced by higher soil K availability, especially in environments without strong abiotic stresses. The impacts of other drivers of global change, such as increasing atmospheric CO2 or changes in land use, remain to be elucidated. Current models of the responses of ecosystems and carbon storage to projected global climatic and atmospheric changes are now starting to consider N and P, but they should also consider K, mostly in arid and semi-arid ecosystems.

“…Numerous plant traits have been identified so far to be associated with the invasiveness of plants, including life history traits (Burke and Grime 1996, Kolar and Lodge 2001, Radford and Cousens 2000, Rejmánek and Richardson 1996, White et al 2001, present geographical distribution, reflecting the tolerance of the range of climates (Burke andGrime 1996, Dukes andMooney 1999), as well as attributes associated with carbon gain and resource-use efficiency (McDowell 2002, Pattison et al 1998, Williams et al 1995, Yamashita et al 2000, 2002.

Leaf morphology, coarse structure and anatomy were compared for two invasive C 4 , two non-invasive C 4 , and two expanding native C 3 grass species grown in their original, high-light semiarid temperate habitat, and in a growth room under variable moderate light and favourable supply of water and nutrients. It was hypothesised that (H 1 ) among C 4 grasses leaf structural response will be greater for invasive than for non-invasive species, and (H 2 ) for plants of high spreading capacity C 4 species will be less responsive than C 3 species. Leaf mass per area was lower in the growth room than in the field by 43.4-54% and 5.7-21.2% for grasses of high spreading capacity and for non-invasive C 4 species, respectively. Little or no response was observed in the proportion of epidermis and mesophyll, but the proportional area of veins plus sclerenchyma was greater in the field than in the growth room for the invasive C 4 Sorghum halepense, and the spreading C 3 Bromus inermis and Calamagrostis epigeios, while it did not differ for the two non-invasive C 4 grasses and the invasive C 4 Cynodon dactylon. Leaf intervenial distance was invariant for C 4 grasses (except for the non-invasive Chrysopogon gryllus) and the C 3 C. epigeios, but changed by 25.1% for the C 3 B. inermis. These results suggest that among C 4 grasses invasive species exceed non-invasive ones in the plasticity of leaf coarse structure, but not that of leaf morphology and anatomy. However, leaf structure was not less plastic in invasive C 4 than in expanding C 3 grasses except for intervenial distance.

Leaf Trait Plasticity and Evolution in Different Plant Functional Types

Phenotypic plasticity is the potential of a genotype to form different phenotypes in contrasting environments. Phenotypic plasticity is always present among plant leaves due to modularity of design such that individual leaves can acclimate to their own environment. Plasticity differs among genotypes, populations, and species and as the result plants vary in their capacity to reach the optimum phenotype and maximise fitness under different environmental conditions. Owing to high energy and carbon costs of plasticity, being most plastic does not always guarantee the maximum fitness, and the benefit of a given plastic modification depends on the rate of environmental variability, extent of plasticity, potential reversibility, and leaf longevity. There are extensive variations in the degree of plasticity, rate of plastic changes, and reversibility of different leaf chemical, physiological, and structural leaf traits. In particular, leaf chemical and physiological traits change faster and more reversibly than structural traits. Leaf photosynthetic plasticity is often structural, determined during leaf development, and therefore, largely irreversible, especially the light‐dependent plasticity. Plant adaptability to the environment is driven by plasticity and ecotypic adaptation to environmental conditions and species from different plant functional types largely vary in the share of different adaptability components along resource availability gradients. Globally, the plastic component is expected to be greater in species from high resource habitats with higher leaf metabolic activity and leaf turnover and less in species from low resource habitats with opposite suite of leaf traits. Plant functional types with persistent leaves and low leaf metabolic activity rely primarily on high constitutive tolerance to survive adverse environmental conditions, whereas plant functional types with short leaf lifespan and high leaf metabolic activity survive adverse conditions by plastic trait modifications or avoidance (ephemerals). Future work should focus on understanding the global variation in leaf plasticity as driven by plant metabolic activity and rate of regulation of transcriptome and epigenome level changes.
