Response of soil properties to C, N, and P stoichiometry of plants in Qilian Mountains, China
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Subsequent findings reveal the combination characteristics and spatial patterns of plant functional traits, and their response and adaptation to environmental changes in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Productive leaf functional traits of Chinese savanna species [PDF]
Plant Ecology, 2012 The river valleys in Southwest China are characterized by a dry–hot climate and relatively rich soils, and host valley-type savannas that are dominated by deciduous species. However, little is known about the ecological adaptations of Chinese savanna plants to the local environments.

Linking functional traits to multiscale statistics of leaf venation networks [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Leaf venation networks evolved along several functional axes, including resource transport, damage resistance, mechanical strength, and construction cost. Because functions may depend on architectural features at different scales, network architecture may vary across spatial scales to satisfy functional tradeoffs.

Relationships between Community Level Functional Traits of Trees and Seedlings during Secondary Succession in a Tropical Lowland Rainforest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Most of the previous studies on functional traits focus exclusively on either seedlings or trees. Little knowledge exists on the relationships between community level functional traits of trees and seedlings during succession. Here, we examine variations

The effect of experimental warming on leaf functional traits, leaf structure and leaf biochemistry in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Abstract Background The leaf is an important plant organ, and how it will respond to future global warming is a question that remains unanswered. The effects of experimental warming on leaf photosynthesis and respiration acclimation has been well studied so far, but relatively little information exists on the ...

Leaf traits within communities: Context may affect the mapping of traits to function [PDF]
Ecology, 2013 The leaf economics spectrum (LES) has revolutionized the way many ecologists think about quantifying plant ecological trade‐offs. In particular, the LES has connected a clear functional trade‐off (long‐lived leaves with slow carbon capture vs. short‐lived leaves with fast carbon capture) to a handful of easily measured leaf traits.

Functional traits and drought strategy predict leaf thermal tolerance
Conservation Physiology, 2023 ABSTRACT Heat stress imposes an important physiological constraint on native plant species—one that will only worsen with human-caused climate change. Indeed, rising temperatures have already contributed to large-scale plant mortality events across the globe.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Leaf functional traits support plant survival and growth in different stress and disturbed conditions and respond according to leaf habit. The present study examined 13 leaf traits (3 morphological, 3 chemical, 5 physiological, and 2 stoichiometry) of ...

Coordination of leaf functional traits under climatic warming in an arid ecosystem. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2022 Abstract Background Climatic warming is increasing regionally and globally, and results concerning warming and its consequent drought impacts have been reported extensively. However, due to a lack of quantitative analysis of warming severities, it is still unclear how warming and warming-induced drought influence leaf ...

Functional traits and trait coordination change over the life of a leaf in a tropical fern species
American Journal of Botany, 2023 AbstractPremisePlant ecological strategies are often defined by the integration of underlying traits related to resource acquisition, allocation, and growth. Correlations between key traits across diverse plants suggest that variation in plant ecological strategies is largely driven by a fast–slow continuum of plant economics.
