Explaining plant trait variation in response to soil water availability using an optimal height-growth model

I. R. Towers, A. O'Reilly Nugent, M. E. B. Sabot, P. A. Vesk, D. S. Falster

The paper uses an optimal height-growth model to predict how plant traits shift in response to soil water availability and other environmental factors.

Revisiting the role of mean annual precipitation in shaping functional trait distributions at a continental scale

I. R. Towers, P. A. Vesk, E. Wenk, R. V. Gallagher, S. Windecker, I. J. Wright, D. Falster

The paper examines the relationship between mean annual precipitation and eight plant functional traits, finding a strong coordinated response of traits with increasing precipitation.

Climatic warming strengthens a positive feedback between alpine shrubs and fire

J. S. Camac, R. J. Williams, C.-H. Wahren, A. A. Hoffmann, P. A. Vesk

The paper examines how warming and fire affect shrub recruitment and growth in alpine ecosystems, finding fire significantly increases shrub establishment and warming boosts growth rates.
