Mycorrhizal fungal and tree root functional traits: Strategies for integration and future directions

Ecosphere, 2023
Plant functional traits offer ecologists quantifiable characteristics that may be used to determine the underlying mechanisms and drivers of processes at scales ranging from individual plants to entire ecosystems. While research on belowground functional

Abiotic Regulation: Landslide Scale and Altitude Regulate Functional Traits of Regenerating Plant Communities After Earthquakes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Regeneration and assembly of a plant community after a large-scale natural disturbance are affected by many factors. The relative importance of abiotic factors represented by the external environment and the biological factors inside the plant community ...

Can Functional Traits Explain Plant Coexistence? A Case Study with Tropical Lianas and Trees

Diversity, 2020
Organisms are adapted to their environment through a suite of anatomical, morphological, and physiological traits. These functional traits are commonly thought to determine an organism’s tolerance to environmental conditions.
