Lead Paragraph

*Explain what a plant strategy is. *Include historical timeline and notable contributors of plant strategy definitions.

Background

*What does plant strategy include? Ecological strategy? Defensive strategy? Reproductive strategy? Resource-utilization strategy? *Include how plant traits (functional traits) influence plant strategies. *Discuss plant trade-offs in allocation and resource utilization.

Grime’s CSR

*Summarize Grime's triangle. *Link to UAST page. *Include diagram of CSR triangle.

Tilman’s R*

*Summarize Tilman's theory. *Link to R* rule page. *Brief mention of I*.

Westoby’s LHS

*Summarize Westoby's theory. *In-text citation of Westoby's paper. *Briefly mention Wright’s (2004) leaf economic spectrum theory (builds on Westoby).

r/K Selection

*Summarize reproductive strategy. *Link to r/K page.

Summary

*Bring together all sections and summarize plant strategies as a whole.
