Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Excessive grazing causes a decrease in plant diversity of grassland and also leads to changes in the functional traits of grassland plants. Based on the relationship between plant diversity and the functional traits of constructive species, the patterns ...

Plant Functional Traits as Determinants of Population Stability [PDF]
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2014 Understanding the processes regulating population temporal stability is important to infer species coexistence and ecosystem stability patterns. It has been hypothesized that population temporal stability could be driven by functional trade‐offs in resource acquisition and growth rate strategies.

Plant trait effects on soil organisms and functions [PDF]
Pedobiologia, 2017 Global change alters the composition and functioning of ecosystems by creating novel environmental conditions and thereby selecting for specific traits of organisms. Thus, trait-based approaches are promising tools to more mechanistically understand compositional and functional shifts in ecological communities as well as the dependency of response and ...

A functional trait database for Mediterranean Basin plants [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2018 AbstractFunctional trait databases are emerging as crucial tools for a wide range of ecological studies across the world. Here, we provide a database of functional traits for vascular plant species of the Mediterranean Basin. The database includes 25,764 individual records of 44 traits from 2,457 plant taxa distributed in 119 taxonomic families.

Trait Multi-Functionality in Plant Stress Response [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2019 AbstractPlants often experience multiple stresses in a given day or season, and it is self-evident that given functional traits can provide tolerances of multiple stresses. Yet, the multiple functions of individual traits are rarely explicitly considered in ecology and evolution due to a lack of a quantitative framework.

Functional traits and root morphology of alpine plants [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2011 Vegetation has long been recognized to protect the soil from erosion. Understanding species differences in root morphology and functional traits is an important step to assess which species and species mixtures may provide erosion control. Furthermore, extending classification of plant functional types towards root traits may be a useful procedure in ...
