Optimal set of leaf and aboveground tree elements for predicting forest functioning by É. S. Diniz, E. Rodríguez-Penedo, R. Grau-Andrés, J. Vayreda, M. Fernández-Martínez

“…However, the potential of the elemental composition of trees (i.e., elementomes) as a predictor of forest functioning remains elusive. We assessed the predictive power of elemental composition from different perspectives: testing whether aboveground element stocks or concentrations explain forest production and productivity (i.e., production per unit of standing biomass) better than leaf elements or environmental factors, and identifying the optimal set (combination and quantity) of elements that best predicts forest functioning. …”
