Leaf functional traits and pathogens: Linking coffee leaf rust with intraspecific trait variation in diversified agroecosystems. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2023
Research has demonstrated that intraspecific functional trait variation underpins plant responses to environmental variability. However, few studies have evaluated how trait variation shifts in response to plant pathogens, even though pathogens are a major driver of plant demography and diversity, and despite evidence of plants expressing distinct ...

Functional trait response to aridity based on leaf trait network analysis in the Hexi Corridor, China

BMC Plant Biology
Background Aridity acts as a strong environmental filter for plants and is predicted to intensify in the future, resulting in changes to leaf functional traits.

Effects of ontogenetic stage and leaf age on leaf functional traits and the relationships between traits in Pinus koraiensis [PDF]

Journal of Forestry Research, 2021
AbstractInvestigating the effects of ontogenetic stage and leaf age on leaf traits is important for understanding the utilization and distribution of resources in the process of plant growth. However, few studies have been conducted to show how traits and trait-trait relationships change across a range of ontogenetic stage and leaf age for evergreen ...

Relating Stomatal Conductance to Leaf Functional Traits [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2015
Leaf functional traits are important because they reflect physiological functions, such as transpiration and carbon assimilation. In particular, morphological leaf traits have the potential to summarize plants strategies in terms of water use efficiency, growth pattern and nutrient use.

Adaptational responses of leaf functional traits of Dicranopteris dichotoma to environmental factors in different vegetational restoration stages

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Environmental factors have a regulatory effect on plant leaf functional traits, affecting ecosystems' functions and processes. Due to special adaptive strategies, Dicranopteris dichotoma can occupy an important ecological niche at different vegetational ...

Above- and Belowground Plant Functional Composition Show Similar Changes During Temperate Forest Swamp Succession

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Plant functional composition, defined by both community-weighted mean (CWM) traits and functional diversity, can provide insights into plant ecological strategies and community assembly.

High Variation in Yield among Wild Blueberry Genotypes: Can Yield Be Predicted by Leaf and Stem Functional Traits?

Agronomy, 2022
Wild lowbush blueberry fields are characterized by high genetic diversity, with a large number of genotypes coexisting in every field. Yield also varies among genotypes, which could be related to the variation in physiological and structural traits, but ...

Leaf Functional Traits Vary in Urban Environments: Influences of Leaf Age, Land-Use Type, and Urban–Rural Gradient

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
An increasing number of studies have focused on the response and adaptation of plants to urbanization by comparing differences in leaf functional traits between urban and rural sites. However, considerable uncertainties remain because differences in land-
