Leaf Functional Traits and Their Influencing Factors in Six Typical Vegetation Communities. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)Leaf functional traits (LFTs) have become a popular topic in ecological research in recent years. Here, we measured eight LFTs, namely leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), leaf thickness (LT), leaf dry matter content (LDMC), leaf carbon content (LCC)

Size- and environment-driven seedling survival and growth are mediated by leaf functional traits. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2022 Ecologists usually find that plant demography (e.g. survival and growth) changes along with plant size and environmental gradients, which suggests the effects of ontogeny-related processes and abiotic filtering.
