Drivers of carabid functional diversity: abiotic environment, plant functional traits, or plant functional diversity?

Ecology, 2014
Understanding how community assembly is controlled by the balance of abiotic drivers (environment or management) and biotic drivers (community composition of other groups) is important in predicting the response of ecosystems to environmental change. If there are strong links between plant assemblage structure and carabid beetle functional traits and ...

Functional trait similarity predicts survival in rare plant reintroductions

Ecological Applications, 2020
AbstractRare species reintroductions are an increasingly common conservation strategy, but often result in poor survival of reintroduced individuals. Reintroduction sites are chosen primarily based on historical occupancy and/or abiotic properties of the site, with much less consideration given to properties of the larger biotic community.

Plant Functional Traits in Tropical Dry Forests

2020
Plants have certain characteristics which allow them to respond to various environmental conditions, like changes in climate, water scarcity in the soil, lack of minerals; among others. In some of these traits, the responses to climatic phenomena such as drought can be evidenced through morphological adaptations (spines, succulent tissues, trichomes ...

Plant Functional Traits and the Multidimensional Phenotype

2023
Abstract Modules are the basic architectural building blocks of a plant. Roots anchor plants in place, provide support for growing stems, acquire water and mineral nutrients from the soil, and transport water and minerals to aboveground tissues. Clonality and bud banks are a neglected aspect of plant form and function.

Plant functional traits and environmental variations

2013
Since the original Darwin's definition of ''functional traits'' as predictors (proxies) of organism performance, a growing scientific community, mainly over the last three decades, used the ''traitbased'' approach to address fundamental ecological and multi-scale questions.
