Changes in oak (Quercus robur) photosynthesis after winter moth (Operophtera brumata) herbivory are not explained by changes in chemical or structural leaf traits [PDF]

, 2020
Insect herbivores have the potential to change both physical and chemical traits of their host plant. Although the impacts of herbivores on their hosts have been widely studied, experiments assessing changes in multiple leaf traits or functions ...

Ploidy differences affect leaf functional traits, but not water stress responses in a mountain endemic plant population

, 2021
Polyploidy affects the ecological and evolutionary success of plants through altering phenotypes and physiological traits, which could enable polyploids to respond more easily to environmental changes.

Global variability in leaf respiration in relation to climate, plant functional types and leaf traits [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2015
Summary Leaf dark respiration (Rdark) is an important yet poorly quantified component of the global carbon cycle. Given this, we analyzed a new global database of Rdark and associated leaf traits. Data for 899 species were compiled from 100 sites (from the Arctic to the tropics).

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.

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]

, 2014
Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,

Functional leaf traits of vascular epiphytes: vertical trends within the forest, intra‐ and interspecific trait variability, and taxonomic signals [PDF]

Functional Ecology, 2015
Summary Analysing functional traits along environmental gradients can improve our understanding of the mechanisms structuring plant communities. Within forests, vertical gradients in light intensity, temperature and humidity are often pronounced. Vascular epiphytes are particularly suitable for studying the influence of these vertical gradients on ...

Response of functional traits of Castanopsis hystrix leaves to geographical environment factors

Guangxi Zhiwu
Leaf is an important nutrient organ for physiological and biochemical activities of plants, and its functional traits reflect the environmental adaptability of plants to a certain extent.

Plant Nutrient Contents Rather Than Physical Traits Are Coordinated Between Leaves and Roots in a Desert Shrubland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Although leaf economics spectrum (LES) has been extensively tested with regional and global datasets, the correlation among functional traits of desert plants remains largely unclear.

Mechanisms of Surviving Burial: Dune Grass Interspecific Differences Drive Resource Allocation After Sand Deposition [PDF]

, 2018
Sand dunes are important geomorphic formations of coastal ecosystems that are critical in protecting human populations that live in coastal areas. Dune formation is driven by ecomorphodynamic interactions between vegetation and sediment deposition. While
