Ecological stoichiometry is an efficient tool for exploring the balance and cycling of coupled
elements (eg, carbon [C], nitrogen [N], and phosphorus [P]). Therefore, C: N: P ratios are …

Functional traits are defined as morpho-physio-phenological traits that indirectly impact
fitness via their effects on growth, reproduction, and survival (Violle et al., 2007). These traits …

Water use efficiency (WUE) represents the trade‐off between carbon assimilation and water
loss in plants. It remains unclear how leaf stomatal and photosynthetic traits regulate the …

Deciphering the effect of neutral and deterministic processes on community assembly is
critical to understand and predict diversity patterns. The information held in community trait …

Tropical forests are important to the regulation of climate and the maintenance of biodiversity
on Earth. However, these ecosystems are threatened by climate change, as temperatures …

Understanding how environmental change alters the composition of plant assemblages is a
major challenge in the face of global climate change. Researches accounting for site …

The arrangement patterns of stomata on the leaf surface influence water loss and CO2
uptake via transportation and diffusion between stomata, the sites of photosynthesis, and …

The single functional differentiation of lianas and trees has been explored at both local and
regional scales. Traits are not independent of each other, and the differentiation and …

As important indicators of leaf traits, leaf anatomical traits are sensitive and adaptable to
environmental changes. However, how leaf anatomical traits at species and community …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are crucial nutrients for regulating plant growth. The classic
growth rate hypothesis (GRH) proposes that fast‐growing organisms have lower N: P ratios …
