Plant Functional Traits of Plants Species Colonizing Forest Gaps
Diversity, 2023 In this research, we analyzed functional plant traits and life forms of plant species growing on five forest gaps in the Dinaric fir–beech forest in Slovenia. The forest gaps were created as a result of natural disturbances.

Plant Functional Traits, but Not Community Composition, Are Affected by Summer Precipitation and Herbivory in an Old‐Field Ecosystem [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBoth precipitation and herbivores can independently control plant community composition and ecosystem function. However, few studies have experimentally examined the potential interactive effects of altered precipitation and herbivores on plant ...

Can Functional Traits Explain Plant Coexistence? A Case Study with Tropical Lianas and Trees
Diversity, 2020 Organisms are adapted to their environment through a suite of anatomical, morphological, and physiological traits. These functional traits are commonly thought to determine an organism’s tolerance to environmental conditions.
