Plant communities on tropical high islands, such as the Hawaiian Islands, are predicted to
experience rapid climate change, resulting in novel climates. If increased temperature …

Comparisons of community-level functional traits across environmental gradients have
potential for identifying links among plant characteristics, adaptations to stress and …

One of the key principles for modeling future impacts of anthropogenic and climate changes
on vegetation is to identify clear patterns and trends between plant functional traits and …

Forest herb-layer vegetation responds sensitively to environmental conditions. This paper
compares drivers of both taxonomic, ie, species richness, cover and evenness, and …

Species respond to changes in their environments. A core goal in ecology is to understand
the process of plant community assembly in response to a changing climate. Examining the …

Semi‐natural mountain grasslands are increasingly exposed to environmental stress under
climate change. However, which are the environmental factors that limit plants in these …

Across their ranges plant species are dually limited by resource availability and
physiological trade-offs in resource acquisition strategies. However, it remains unclear how …

Globally, subalpine, and alpine plant communities are receiving increasing attention due to
disproportionate rapid warming at high altitudes and the resultant shrinking habitat leaving …

Using Slovenian forest flora as an example, we investigated four plant functional traits:
specific leaf area (SLP), leaf dry matter content (VSS), plant height (VIŠ) and seed/spore …

Using the example of the flora of Slovenian forests, we discussed four functional
characteristics of plants: specific leaf area (SLP), dry matter content in leaves (VSS), plant …
