Knowledge of broad biogeographic patterns of leaf nitrogen and phosphorus is important for understanding continental- to global-scale issues, and also to answer local and process-oriented questions. In the Reich lab, research includes studies of root traits; traits as predictors of global change responses; intraspecific trait scaling; scaling along temperature and/or precipitation gradients, and others.
