The evolution of functional traits in plants: is the giant still slee**?
In the field of plant ecophysiology, the term “functional trait” has multiple overlap**

Intraspecific variability in root traits and edaphic conditions influence soil microbiomes across 12 switchgrass cultivars
Microbial communities help plants access nutrients and tolerate stress. Some microbiomes
are specific to plant genotypes and, therefore, may contribute to intraspecific differences in …

Evolutionary effects of nitrogen are not easily predicted from ecological responses
J Waterton, M Hammond, JA Lau - American Journal of Botany, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Premise Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) addition alters the abiotic and biotic environment,
potentially leading to changes in patterns of natural selection (ie, trait–fitness relationships) …

Teosinte populations exhibit weak local adaptation to their rhizosphere biota despite strong effects of biota source on teosinte fitness and traits
While biotic interactions often impose selection, species and populations vary in whether
they are locally adapted to biotic interactions. Evolutionary theory predicts that …

When the neighborhood matters: contextual selection on seedling traits in native and non-native California grasses
Plants interact extensively with their neighbors, but the evolutionary consequences of
variation in neighbor identity are not well understood. Seedling traits are likely to experience …
