摘要:

叶经济谱(leaf economics spectrum)概念自提出以来, 已受到广泛关注。它第一次在全球尺度上定量分析植物功能性状及其关系, 从而量化和概括权衡策略(trade-off)的内涵和变化规律, 具有重要的理论价值, 为后续植物性状的相关研究提供借鉴。该文综合评述了叶经济谱的概念、内容和相关检验性或异议性观点, 探讨叶经济谱的形成机制与动力, 并从多角度、多方面概述叶经济谱理论的应用及扩展性研究, 最后指出我国叶经济谱研究现状的不足, 并对国内外叶经济谱理论的发展进行展望, 强调共建共享全球基础数据库的重要性。

Abstract:

The concept of leaf economics spectrum (LES) has attracted much attention and debate since its emergence. It for the first time provides quantitative analysis of plant functional traits and their relationships on the global scale, hence quantifying and generalizing the context and variations of the trade-off strategies. This is of great theoretical value, and provides a useful research method and scientific ideas for subsequent study on plant traits and their functions. In this paper, we try to comprehensively review the meaning, contents, relevant verifications and objections about LES, and to explore its underlying mechanisms. In addition, we emphasize the multi-scale and multidimensional extensions, integration and potential applications of LES. Currently there are still several shortcomings about LES research in China, and we outlook the development of LES theory domestically and abroad. It may be of significance for ecological researchers to establish and exploit jointly a global database on plant traits.

Key words: evolution, functional traits, global change, leaf economics spectrum, quantitative law, trade-off
