Forests, 2022 The close-to-Nature management method of interplanting broad-leaved trees after thinning of monoculture plantations is an important mixed species restoration model to improve the ecological service and functions effectively as well as to reduce the ...

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.

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.

Predicting leaf traits across functional groups using reflectance spectroscopy
New Phytologist, 2022 Summary Plant ecologists use functional traits to describe how plants respond to and influence their environment. Reflectance spectroscopy can provide rapid, non‐destructive estimates of leaf traits, but it remains unclear whether general trait‐spectra models can ...

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

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.

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.

Forests, 2022 Leaf functional traits are the essential components of adaption plant strategies and have different responses to various environments, but our knowledge of how plants adapt to highly complex urban environments through coordinated changes in leaf ...

Consistency of species ranking based on functional leaf traits [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2001 • Specific leaf area (leaf area to dry mass ratio), leaf dry matter content (leaf dry mass to saturated fresh mass ratio) and leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC) have been proposed as indicators of plant resource use in data bases of plant functional traits.

Tree Physiology, 2021 Most leaf functional trait studies in the Amazon basin do not consider ontogenetic variations (leaf age), which may influence ecosystem productivity throughout the year.
