Trait-based studies have become extremely common in plant ecology. Trait-based
approaches often rely on the tacit assumption that intraspecific trait variability (ITV) is …

A plant community is an assemblage of plant populations that live in certain area, and
interact with and adapt to one another in the context of long-term environmental changes …

Leaf functional traits (LFTs) are highly plastic and essential to plant resource acquisition and
utilization. However, the collinearity of environmental factors and differences in the response …

Root respiration is a critical physiological trait involved in root resource acquisition
strategies, yet it is less represented in root trait syndrome. Here we compiled a large dataset …

External mechanical forces resulting from the pressure exerted by wind or water movement
