Trait-based ecology promises to predict community assembly1–3, ecosystem function4–6, and responses to environmental change4,7 across spatial and temporal scales. At the global scale the majority of plant trait variation is explained by just two dimensions8, corresponding to resource acquisition9 and plant size10,11. However, it is unknown whether (1) globally established trait relationships are maintained across biomes, (2) species level relationships could be invalidated by trait variation within species, and (3) trait variation is independent of scale. We tested these questions at the cold extremes of life on earth using the largest tundra plant trait database ever compiled. Here we show we found that tundra plants exhibited a two-axis spectrum consistent with global findings, and demonstrated remarkable consistency in the range of resource acquisition traits, but not size traits, compared to global trait distributions. The majority of trait variation occurred at the species level, but within-species variation comprised an important component of variation at local scales (<10 km2) and at low species richness (<10 species), implying that.... Our findings indicate that the dimensions of functional trait space are maintained in the coldest ecosystems on the planet despite strong environmental filtering of plant size, but that a greater focus on within-species trait variation is required to predict trait change at the community scale.
