Generality and Shifts in Leaf Trait Relationships Between Alpine Aquatic and Terrestrial Herbaceous Plants on the Tibetan Plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Plant traits mirror both evolutionary and environmental filtering process with universal trait-trait relationships across plant groups. However, plants also develop unique traits precisely to different habitats, inducing deviations of the trait coupling ...

Eco-Morphological and Physiological Behaviours of Atriplex halimus L. Under Different Natural Habitats [PDF]

Arab Universities Journal of Agricultural Sciences
Atriplex halimus is a widely distributed species in the Mediterranean coastal areas and can grow under saline and non-saline habitats. Plant leaves were collected from two habitats; non-saline (1.14 dSm-1) and saline (30.63 dSm-1) at Borg Alarab area ...

Leaf trait divergence between Azadirachta indica (exotic) and native species of the northern Brazilian coast [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The introduction of exotic plants can pose ecological threats as they may become invasive. We investigated leaf traits potentially linked to competitive advantage and invasiveness in Azadirachta indica, a widely used exotic tree in northeastern Brazil’s ...

Plant community traits can explain variation in productivity of selective logging forests after different restoration times

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The emerging concept of plant community traits offers a promising tool for explaining the variations in forest productivity. We measured the leaf thickness (LT), leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) of 234 plant ...

Leaf plasticity of species under different light intensities in an urban rainforest

Diversitas Journal, 2023
Leaf characteristics of plants are useful to understand vegetation changes under different environmental pressures because species deal with variations in the levels of luminosity during the process of ecological succession.

Functional ecology characteristics of key community-forming aquatic and semi-aquatic plant species in Teletskoye Lake (Republic of Altai, Russia)

Acta Biologica Sibirica
This study explores five primary morpho-functional traits – photosynthetic canopy height, leaf mass, leaf area, specific leaf area, and seed mass – of 17 community-forming species of aquatic and semiaquatic plants in Teletskoye Lake: Alopecurus aequalis,

Leaf trait plasticity and site-specific environmental variability modulate the severity of visible foliar ozone symptoms in Viburnum lantana.

PLoS ONE, 2022
The assessment of Visible Foliar Symptoms (VFS) is commonly adopted by forest monitoring programs to evaluate ozone impact on vegetation. The occurrence of ozone VFS may differ among individuals of the same species at the same site, and within leaves of ...

Altered leaf functional traits by nitrogen addition in a nutrient-poor pine plantation: A consequence of decreased phosphorus availability

Scientific Reports, 2017
This study aimed to determine how specific leaf area (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) respond to N addition and understory vegetation removal in a 13-year-old Mongolian pine (Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica) plantation.
