Plant Classification for Ecological Purposes: is there a Role for Genome Size?

Genome size is a strong candidate for inclusion in the list of traits needed to devise a functional classification of plants. To facilitate modelling and prediction of vegetation responses to regional and global changes in landuse and climate, a distinctively ecological agenda is recommended for future research on inter-specific variation in nuclear DNA amount.

Genome size, nuclear DNA amount, plant functional types, global change
