      abstract     = {Plant trait variation drives plant function, community
                      composition and ecosystem processes. However, our current
                      understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies
                      on aboveground observations. Here we integrate root traits
                      into the global framework of plant form and function. We
                      developed and tested an overarching conceptual framework
                      that integrates two recently identified root trait gradients
                      with a well-established aboveground plant trait framework.
                      We confronted our novel framework with published
                      relationships between above- and belowground trait analogues
                      and with multivariate analyses of above- and belowground
                      traits of 2510 species. Our traits represent the leaf and
                      root conservation gradients (specific leaf area, leaf and
                      root nitrogen concentration, and root tissue density), the
                      root collaboration gradient (root diameter and specific root
                      length) and the plant size gradient (plant height and
                      rooting depth). We found that an integrated, whole-plant
                      trait space required as much as four axes. The two main axes
                      represented the fast–slow ‘conservation’ gradient on
                      which leaf and fine-root traits were well aligned, and the
                      ‘collaboration’ gradient in roots. The two additional
                      axes were separate, orthogonal plant size axes for height
                      and rooting depth. This perspective on the multidimensional
                      nature of plant trait variation better encompasses plant
                      function and influence on the surrounding environment.},
