Environmental and ontogenetic effects on intraspecific trait variation of a macrophyte species across five ecological scales.
Although functional trait variability is increasingly used in community ecology, the scale- and size-dependent aspects of trait variation are usually disregarded. Here we quantified the spatial structure of shoot height, branch length, root/shoot ratio and leaf number in a macrophyte species Potamog...
