Here, we explored the levelof covariation among a suite of key root traits (i.e.specific root length, root dry matter content, diameterand density) as well as between them and two above-ground traits related with plant function (leaf nutrientconcentration and specific leaf area). We also evaluatedwhether these patterns of trait covariation were consis-tent at different spatial scales and organisational levels.MethodsWe collected fine root (< 2 mm) samples of 534individuals (of 80 woody species) along a wide regionalrange of environmental conditions in southern Spain.}, language = {en} } @misc{GarciadelaRivaViollePerezRamosetal., author = {Garcia de la Riva, Enrique and Violle, Cyrille and P{\´e}rez-Ramos, Ignacio Manuel and Mara{\~n}{\´o}n, Teodoro and Navarro-Fern{\´a}ndez, Carmen M. and Olmo, Manuel and Villar, Rafael}, title = {A Multidimensional Functional Trait Approach Reveals the Imprint of Environmental Stress in Mediterranean Woody Communities}, series = {Ecosystems}, volume = {21}, journal = {Ecosystems}, number = {2}, issn = {1435-0629}, doi = {10.1007/s10021-017-0147-7}, pages = {248 -- 262}, language = {en} }
