Plant–soil feedbacks: role of plant functional group and plant traits
Journal of Ecology, 2016 Summary Plant–soil feedback (PSF), plant trait and functional group concepts advanced our understanding of plant community dynamics, but how they are interlinked is poorly known. To test how plant functional groups (FGs: graminoids, small herbs, tall herbs, legumes) and plant traits relate to PSF, we grew 48 grassland species in sterilized soil ...

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.

A functional trait perspective on plant invasion [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 Global environmental change will affect non-native plant invasions, with profound potential impacts on native plant populations, communities and ecosystems. In this context, we review plant functional traits, particularly those that drive invader abundance (invasiveness) and impacts, as well as the integration of these traits across multiple ecological

On Plant Modularity Traits: Functions and Challenges [PDF]
Trends in Plant Science, 2017 On-spot persistence, space occupancy, and recovery after damage are key plant functions largely understudied. Traits relevant to these functions are difficult to assess because of their relationships to plant modularity. We suggest that developing collection protocols for these traits is feasible and could facilitate their inclusion in global syntheses.

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.

FunAndes – A functional trait database of Andean plants
Scientific Data, 2022 AbstractWe introduce the FunAndes database, a compilation of functional trait data for the Andean flora spanning six countries. FunAndes contains data on 24 traits across 2,694 taxa, for a total of 105,466 entries. The database features plant-morphological attributes including growth form, and leaf, stem, and wood traits measured at the species or ...
