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 ...

Accuracy and limitations for spectroscopic prediction of leaf traits in seasonally dry tropical environments [PDF]

, 2020
Generalized assessments of the accuracy of spectroscopic estimates of ecologically important leaf traits such as leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) are still lacking for most ecosystems, and particularly for non-forested and/or ...

Geographic patterns and drivers of leaf functional traits in mangrove forests across Hainan Island: Climate dominance and context-dependent mechanisms

Global Ecology and Conservation
Disentangling the responses of leaf functional traits to global environmental changes is crucial for understanding biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) linkages.

Differences in leaf traits of Spartina alterniflora between native and invaded habitats: Implication for evolution of alien species competitive ability increase

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The enemy release and pre-adaptation of alien species often drive their contemporary evolution across latitudinal gradients within its invasive and native ranges.

Global pattern of leaf litter nitrogen and phosphorus in woody plants [PDF]

, 2010
Forest ecosystems exert an important influence on global biogeochemical cycles. A global dataset of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in leaf- litter of woody plants was compiled from the literature.

Canopy Leaf Traits, Basal Area, and Age Predict Functional Patterns of Regenerating Communities in Secondary Subtropical Forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Secondary forests originate from natural regeneration after fallow (succession) or restoration. Species assembly in these communities, which can affect ecosystem functions and successional trajectories, is very unpredictable. Trait-based trajectories can
