Climate change impact in terrestrial ecosystems stoichiometry: how can we advance?
Experimental, observationals and review
studies (reviews and meta-analysis)
Sardans et al. (2012a) Biogeochemistry
Sardans et al. (2012b) Pers Plant Ecol Evol Syst
Sardans and Peñuelas (2012) Plant Physiology
Capture our attention
in current studies limitations
How can improve stoichiometry studies
to be a useful trait to detect dynamics
shifts in terrestrial plant vegetation
What dowe need?
1.Most studies have been focused on N and P (N/P ratio)
1.More elements such as K, but also Mg, S or
Ca among others should be considered
2. Stoichiometric studies of terrestrial plants have been
mailny focused on foliar tissues, specially in trees
2. Plants also allocate nutrients to other tissues.
We need when possible, take into account whole
plant stoichiometry
3. N/P stoichiometry of higher plants not only depends
of the allocation to growth, several other functions can
be important sinks for nutrients
3. To gain a global knowledgment of the functional
causes underlie stoichiometric shifts in plant
responses to climate change
We propose to solve these constrains and advance in the frame
of climate change impacts on terrestrial plant communities

We began to use metabolomics analyses in our studies
We developed a method to conduct metabolomic analyses with field sampling
Rivas-Ubach et al. (2013)
Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Plants under different climate conditions shift their metabolism. The corresponding
metabolomic analysis informs on the molecular causes underlying the shifts in elemental composition
and stoichiometrical ratios

Until this moment the results show that
metabolomics can be an useful tool:
1. To give a global view of plant functions involved in plant
responses
2.To explain the causes of plant elemental compostion and
stoichiometrical shifts under drought
3. To improve the kowledge of the metabolic pathways up– and
down-regulated under drought .
4.Is sensitive enough to detect plant molecular and elemental
shifts under different environmental conditions through time
5.To know plant responses to herbivore attack

“Biogeochemical niche”
Each species, as a singular evolutionary product,
should have an optimum elemental composition
as consequence of optimum function
Peñuelas et al. (2010) Global Change Biology
Consequence of the optimum
adaptation to maximize species fitness
in determined abiotic and biotic
circumstances, i. e. consequence of
long-term genetic adaptation (Genotype)
, but also of short-term capacity to respond
under certain limits to life-time
environmental competition shifts
