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.

Disturbance has lasting effects on functional traits and diversity of grassland plant communities
, 2022 Background Localized disturbances within grasslands alter biological properties and may shift species composition. For example, rare species in established communities may become dominant in successional communities if they exhibit traits well-suited to ...

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.
