Transition in multi-dimensional leaf traits and their controls on water use strategies of co-occurring species along a soil limiting-resource gradient

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Water use efficiency is among the most important eco-physiological strategies for species adaptation to water-limiting habitats. However, understanding of how co-occurring species adopt diverse water use strategies to cope with water- and resource ...

Adaptation strategies of leaf traits and leaf economic spectrum of two urban garden plants in China

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2023
Abstract Background Previous studies of the relationships between traits have focused on the natural growth conditions of wild plants. Urban garden plants exhibit some differences in plant traits due to environmental interference.

Integrating defense and leaf economic spectrum traits in a tropical savanna plant

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
IntroductionAllocation to plant defense traits likely depends on resource supply, herbivory, and other plant functional traits such as the leaf economic spectrum (LES) traits. Yet, attempts to integrate defense and resource acquisitive traits remain elusive.MethodsWe assessed intraspecific covariation between different defense and LES traits in a ...

The relative contributions of climate, soil, diversity and interactions to leaf trait variation and spectrum of invasive Solidago canadensis

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2019
Background Invasive plants commonly occupy diverse habitats and thus must adapt to changing environmental pressures through altering their traits and economics spectra, and addressing these patterns and their drivers has an importantly ecological and/or ...

Parallel functional and stoichiometric trait shifts in South American and African forest communities with elevation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Amazon and Congo basins are the two largest continuous blocks of tropical forest with a central role for global biogeochemical cycles and ecology. However, both biomes differ in structure and species richness and composition.

Quantifying leaf trait covariation and its controls across climates and biomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Plant functional ecology requires the quantification of trait variation and its controls. Field measurements on 483 species at 48 sites across China were used to analyse variation in leaf traits, and assess their predictability.

TRY plant trait database - enhanced coverage and open access [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Plant traits-the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants-determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits ...

Adaptation strategies of leaf traits and leaf economic spectrum in urban garden plants

open access: yes, 2022
Abstract In order to explore the adaptation strategies of urban garden plants leaf traits and the relationship of different life forms to climate zone. In this study, we used Mudanjiang of Heilongjiang Province and Bozhou of Anhui Province as the research sites, 17 and 9 woody garden plants were selected respectively, measured 7 leaf ...
