Aim Trade‐offs among tolerances to different abiotic stressors limit polytolerance in woody
plants. However, the general trait syndromes that underlie large‐scale tolerance patterns of …

The replacement of dominant sedges/grasses with secondary forbs is common in alpine
rangelands, but the underlying plant ecological strategies and their relevance to leaf traits …

Identifying ecological strategies based on functional traits can help us better understand
plants' adaptations and changes in ecological processes, and thus predict the impact of …

Plants are key elements of wetlands due to their evolutionary strategies for co** with life in
a water-saturated environment, providing the basis for supporting nearly all wetland biota …

Seed traits (ST) influence seedling establishment, population dynamics, community
composition and ecosystem function and reflect the adaptability of plants and the …

Trait‐based ecology has already revealed main independent axes of trait variation defining
trait spaces that summarize plant adaptive strategies, but often ignoring intraspecific trait …

Protected areas are recognized as a crucial tool to mitigate ongoing trends of biodiversity
loss. The effect of different levels of protection and their subsequent conservation efficiency …

Environmental heterogeneity shapes the patterns of resources and limiting factors and
therefore can be an important driver of plant community composition through the selection of …

Background Inter-and intraspecific variation in plant traits play an important role in grassland
community assembly under global change scenarios. However, explorations of how these …

Abstract The Competitor, Stress Tolerator, and Ruderal (CSR) theory delineates the
ecological strategies of plant species. Nevertheless, how these ecological strategies shift at …
