“…Similarly, CSR analysis using the latest methods and tools proposed by Pierce et al (2017) has excellent effectiveness. Furthermore, the broad potential of the application of CSR analysis has been documented by several studies (Caccianiga et al 2006, Pierce et al 2007a, b, 2012, 2013, Cerabolini et al 2010a, b, 2016, Kilinç et al 2010, Navas et al 2010, Yildirim et al 2012, Ciccarelli 2015, May et al 2017, Astuti et al 2019, Giupponi et al 2019. However, there is a lack of research aimed at analysing intraspecific variation in CSR strategy (Chelli et al 2019).…”

Scientific and technological progress has led to the creation of analysis tools that have revolutionized traditional studies in morphology and plant ecology. Recently developed methods and tools which, on the basis of leaf samples, allow for geometric morphometric analyses and the evaluation of functional strategies are good examples. These methods, still little used, have never been applied on leaf samples to simultaneously obtain information on their morphometry and the ecology of the plants. This article discusses the effectiveness of modern leaf analysis tools for geometric morphometrics (outline analysis) and studies of functional strategies based on the competitor‐stress tolerator‐ruderal (CSR) scheme, using a study of a steno‐endemic plant of the Alps, Primula albenensis Banfi et Ferl. as an example. These aspects were analyzed using leaf samples collected in the only two areas where this species grows. CSR analyses revealed that P. albenensis is not a stress‐tolerant species (C:S:R = 37:1:62), as previously thought. Moreover, no significant intraspecific differences in functional strategy were revealed. Instead, outline analysis highlighted a significant difference (p < 0.001) between leaves collected from the two sampling areas. The results of this study and others reported in the literature therefore suggest that these modern methods of leaf analysis are cheap, effective and relatively simple to perform. Furthermore, researchers are able to carry out geometric morphometric and CSR analysis using the same samples of leaves in order to maximize the information content provided by the analysis of a plant material which may not be easily available.

Allocating CSR plant functional types: the use of leaf economics and size traits to classify woody and herbaceous vascular plants

et al. 2013

Summary1. Three main directions of adaptive specialization are evident in the world flora, reflecting fundamental trade-offs between economics (conservative vs. acquisitive investment of resources) and size. The current method of ordinating plants according to these trade-offs, CSR classification, cannot be applied to the woody species that dominate many terrestrial ecosystems. 2. We aimed to produce a novel CSR classification method applicable to vascular plants in general.3. Principal components analysis (PCA) of variation in a range of plant traits for 678 angiosperm, gymnosperm and pteridophyte species was used to determine the limits to multivariate space occupied by functionally diverse species. From this calibration, correlations between PCA axes and values of leaf dry matter content (LDMC; as an index of conservatism in life history), specific leaf area (SLA; indicative of acquisitive economics) and leaf area (LA; photosynthetic organ size) were used to produce predictor regressions from which target species could be compared against the multivariate space. A spreadsheet was developed that returned ternary coordinates and tertiary CSR strategies for target subjects based on LA, LDMC and SLA values. 4. The method allowed classification of target species within a triangular space corresponding to Grime's theoretical CSR triangle and was sufficiently precise to distinguish strategies between species within genera and within populations of species. It was also largely in agreement with previous methods of CSR classification for herbaceous species. 5. Rapid CSR classification of woody and herbaceous vascular plants is now possible, potentially allowing primary plant functional types and ecosystem processes to be investigated over landscape scales.

“…Gas exchange of excised leaves was measured. Photosynthetic capacity was measured at saturating photosynthetically active radiation (800-1200 mol/m 2 c); respiration rate of the leaves was measured in the dark at a temperature of [18][19][20] ∘ C. Leaves were sampled from 10 to 15 individual plants. The results for photosynthesis and respiration are presented based on the leaf dry weight.…”

Morphological and physiological parameters of 76 vascular plant species typical for Northern Europe were analyzed using Grime's classification. species (competitors) have high levels of canopy height, leaf dry weight, and maximal lateral spread. species (ruderal) have low leaf dry weight, longer flowering period, high rate of photosynthetic capacity and respiration, and high nitrogen content in the leaves. Stress-tolerant ( ) species prevailing in habitats with limited resources are small and have low rate of photosynthetic activity and respiration. Principal component analysis (PCA) ordination showed a clear separation of species of different plant functional types according to their morphological and physiological parameters. The first PCA axis showed close relationship with the rate of respiration and photosynthetic activity and allowed us to differentiate from species. The second PCA axis correlated with morphological parameters associated with the size of plants and allowed us to differentiate species from and species. Using PCA ordination, we developed a model that determines plant functional types in Northern Europe and analyzed plant functional types of several species that are not presented in Grime's classification. The proposed model has higher accuracy (84%) compared to similar models designed for other climatic zones.
