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 Evolution
Both 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 ...

Linking root exudates to functional plant traits. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Primary and secondary metabolites exuded by plant roots have mainly been studied under laboratory conditions, while knowledge of root exudate patterns of plants growing in natural communities is very limited.

Effects of different soil and water conservation measures on plant functional traits in the Loess Plateau [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Soil and water conservation measures (SWCM) have wide-ranging effects on vegetation and soil, and their effects on the ecosystem are multifaceted, with complex mechanisms.

Integrating multiple plant functional traits to predict ecosystem productivity. [PDF]

Commun Biol, 2023
AbstractQuantifying and predicting variation in gross primary productivity (GPP) is important for accurate assessment of the ecosystem carbon budget under global change. Scaling traits to community scales for predicting ecosystem functions (i.e., GPP) remain challenging, while it is promising and well appreciated with the rapid development of trait ...

Rhizospheric traits and plant functioning belowground

Plant Communications
The plant rhizosphere, a region interconnecting roots, soil, and microorganisms, is critical for plant resource acquisition, community structure, and the functional stability of ecosystems.

Plant functional traits have globally consistent effects on competition. [PDF]

Nature, 2015
Phenotypic traits and their associated trade-offs have been shown to have globally consistent effects on individual plant physiological functions, but how these effects scale up to influence competition, a key driver of community assembly in terrestrial ...

ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL LEAF TRAIT VARIATION AMONG THE DOMINANT UNDERSTOREY SPECIES IN THE PINE FOREST OF MORNI HILLS, PANCHKULA, HARYANA [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2021
The functionaldiversity is an essential concept in the field of ecology. It refers to the relative abundance, range, and value of the functional traits present in a given community or ecosystem.
