Plant trait variation drives plant function, community composition and ecosystem processes.
However, our current understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies on …

Trait-based approaches are increasingly recognized as a tool for understanding ecosystem
re-assembly and function under intensifying global change. Here we synthesize trait-based …

摘要植物功能性状是指植物体具有的与其定植, 存活, 生长和死亡紧密相关的一系列核心植物
属性, 且这些属性能够显著影响生态系统功能, 并能够反映植被对环境变化的响应 …

摘要植物性状反映了植物对生长环境的响应和适应, 将环境, 植物个体和生态系统结构,
过程与功能联系起来(所谓的“植物功能性状”). 该文介绍了植物功能性状的分类体系 …

Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are
thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still …

Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect …

The tundra is warming more rapidly than any other biome on Earth, and the potential
ramifications are far-reaching because of global feedback effects between vegetation and …

Under global change, how biological diversity and ecosystem services are maintained in
time is a fundamental question. Ecologists have long argued about multiple mechanisms by …

Earth is home to a remarkable diversity of plant forms and life histories, yet comparatively
few essential trait combinations have proved evolutionarily viable in today's terrestrial …

One of ecology's grand challenges is developing general rules to explain and predict highly
complex systems. Understanding and predicting ecological processes from species' traits …
