ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL LEAF TRAIT VARIATION AMONG THE DOMINANT UNDERSTOREY SPECIES IN THE PINE FOREST OF MORNI HILLS, PANCHKULA, HARYANA [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2021
The functionaldiversity is an essential concept in the field of ecology. It refers to the relative abundance, range, and value of the functional traits present in a given community or ecosystem.

Latitudinal, soil and climate effects on key leaf traits in northeastern China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
s: The spatial differentiation of plant functional traits reflects the survival strategies of plants to adapt to climate change. However, the mechanisms that guide this phenomenon, especially along latitude gradients, remain unclear.

Variation in leaf morphological, stomatal, and anatomical traits and their relationships in temperate and subtropical forests

Scientific Reports, 2019
Leaf functional traits have attracted the attention of ecologists for several decades, but few studies have systematically assessed leaf morphological traits (termed “economic traits”), stomatal (termed “hydraulic”), and anatomical traits of entire ...

Leaf Functional Traits of Two Species Affected by Nitrogen Addition Rate and Period Not Nitrogen Compound Type in a Meadow Grassland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Plasticity of plant functional traits plays an important role in plant growth and survival under changing climate. However, knowledge about how leaf functional traits respond to the multi-level N addition rates, multiple N compound and duration of N ...

Coordination in functional traits of Populus euphratica leaves under salt stress

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Leaf functional traits allow plant survival and maintain their ecosystem function. Salinity affects leaf functional traits, but coordination among leaf functional traits is poorly known and may depend on salt severity.

Single Grazing Is More Detrimental to Grasslands Than Mixed Grazing: Evidence From the Response of Functional Traits of Dominant Plants to Grazing Systems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Plant functional traits reflect species ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental changes, however, how dominant species in the Inner Mongolia grassland adapt to different grazing systems by changing their functional traits ...

Leaf functional diversity and environmental filtering in a tropical dry forest: Comparison between two geological substrates

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The role of geological substrate in shaping plant community functional diversity remains poorly understood. Considering the involvement of leaves in the energy, water, and nutrient economics of plants, we hypothesized that leaves experience geology ...
