  abstract = {{T}rait-based ecology has improved our understanding of the functioning of organisms, communities, ecosystems, and beyond. {H}owever, its predictive ability remains limited as long as phenotypic integration and temporal dynamics are not considered. {W}e highlight how the morphogenetic processes that shape the 3{D} development of a plant during its lifetime affect its performance. {W}e show that the diversity of architectural traits allows us to go beyond organ-level traits in capturing the temporal and spatial dimensions of ecological niches and informing community assembly processes. {O}verall, we argue that consideration of multilevel topological, geometrical, and ontogenetic features provides a dynamic view of the whole-plant phenotype and a relevant framework for investigating phenotypic integration, plant adaptation and performance, and community structure and dynamics.},
