abstract = {Earth is home to a remarkable diversity of plant forms and
life histories, yet comparatively few essential trait
combinations have proved evolutionarily viable in today’s
terrestrial biosphere. By analysing worldwide variation in
six major traits critical to growth, survival and
reproduction within the largest sample of vascular plant
species ever compiled, we found that occupancy of
six-dimensional trait space is strongly concentrated,
indicating coordination and trade-offs. Three-quarters of
trait variation is captured in a two-dimensional global
spectrum of plant form and function. One major dimension
within this plane reflects the size of whole plants and
their parts; the other represents the leaf economics
spectrum, which balances leaf construction costs against
growth potential. The global plant trait spectrum provides a
backdrop for elucidating constraints on evolution, for
functionally qualifying species and ecosystems, and for
improving models that predict future vegetation based on
continuous variation in plant form and function.},
