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.

Characterizing the plant functional traits of coffee agroecosystems in Indonesia. [PDF]

Front Plant Sci
Indonesia, the world’s third-largest coffee producer, is rapidly expanding coffee agroecosystems, often at the expense of deforestation. Understanding the ecophysiology of coffee agroecosystems is thus critical for assessing their impacts on the regional carbon cycle.

Abiotic Regulation: Landslide Scale and Altitude Regulate Functional Traits of Regenerating Plant Communities After Earthquakes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Regeneration and assembly of a plant community after a large-scale natural disturbance are affected by many factors. The relative importance of abiotic factors represented by the external environment and the biological factors inside the plant community ...

Single Grazing Is More Detrimental to Grasslands Than Mixed Grazing: Evidence From the Response of Functional Traits of Dominant Plants to Grazing Systems

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Plant functional traits reflect species ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental changes, however, how dominant species in the Inner Mongolia grassland adapt to different grazing systems by changing their functional traits ...

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 ...

Global patterns of plant functional traits and their relationships to climate. [PDF]

Commun Biol, 2023
Plant functional traits (FTs) determine the survival strategies of plants and their adaptations to the environment, which affect the structure and productivity of vegetation. However, global patterns of many FTs remain uncertain. Currently available global maps of FTs generated by different upscaling approaches show considerable divergence. Potentially

Relationships between soil organic carbon, functional traits, and edaphic variables of four woody species in Montane Cloud Forest [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Soil organic carbon is influenced not only by vegetation and edaphic variables but also by plant functional traits. This work analyzed the relationships between soil organic carbon, functional traits, and edaphic variables in Montane Cloud Forest.

The China Plant Trait Database: toward a comprehensive regional compilation of functional traits for land plants [PDF]

Ecology, 2017
AbstractPlant functional traits provide information about adaptations to climate and environmental conditions, and can be used to explore the existence of alternative plant strategies within ecosystems. Trait data are also increasingly being used to provide parameter estimates for vegetation models.

Plant functional diversity is affected by weed management through processes of trait convergence and divergence

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Weed management involving tillage and/or herbicides has generally led to a decline of plant diversity in agroecosystems, with negative impacts on ecosystem services provision.
