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 Investigating 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.

Differences and driving factors of leaf functional traits between old tree and mature tree of Pinus tabulaeformis in the Loess Plateau [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Study the leaf functional traits is highly important for understanding the survival strategies and climate adaptability of old trees. In this study, the old (over 100 years old) and mature trees (about 50 years old) of Pinus tabulaeformis in ...

Shoot flammability is decoupled from leaf flammability, but controlled by leaf functional traits
Journal of Ecology, 2019 Flammability is an important plant trait, relevant to plant function, wildfire behaviour and plant evolution. However, systematic comparison of plant flammability across ecosystems has proved difficult because of varying methodologies and assessment of ...

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 ...

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.
