Aim The aim was to create global maps of foliar nitrogen‐to‐phosphorus (N: P) ratios across
ecosystems, based on modelled climate, soil, and N and P deposition data, to identify global …

This study brings information on the dynamics of C and N in urban forests in a subtropical
region. We tested the hypothesis that C and N isotopic sign of leaves and soil and …

Karst rocky desertification (KRD), a degraded land form, has seriously damaged the balance
and stability of the ecosystem. Plant functional traits reflect the response and adaptation of …

Functional ecology provides useful tools for selecting native species for rehabilitation
purposes. Here, we evaluated a list of native tree and shrub species as candidates for use in …

Evaluating plant functional traits helps to understand how plants respond to changing
environmental conditions and resource availability associated with disturbance events …

Vegetation is a key biosphere component to supporting biodiversity on Earth, and its
maintenance and proper functioning are essential to guarantee the well-being of …

Plant-soil interactions are a major determinant of changes in forest ecosystem processes
and functioning. We conducted a trait-based study to quantify the contribution of plant traits …

为了解释植物叶片的资源分配特征及其与土壤因子间的适应策略, 该研究以黄土高原东北缘山西
省大同市新荣区油松, 樟子松人工纯林及其柠条混交林为对象, 采用样方法采集样木树冠中部 …

Intraspecific leaf trait variations are becoming a topic of interest for many ecologists because
individual-based traits are essentially the drivers of variations at the community level. Six …

Studying the patterns of changes in species diversity and soil properties can improve our
knowledge of community succession. However, there is still a gap in understanding how soil …
