摘要植物性状反映了植物对生长环境的响应和适应, 将环境, 植物个体和生态系统结构,
过程与功能联系起来(所谓的“植物功能性状”). 该文介绍了植物功能性状的分类体系 …

Leaf mass per area (LMA) is one of the most widely measured of all plant functional traits. In
deciduous forests, there is similarity between plastic and evolutionary responses of LMA to …

Plant traits–the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological
characteristics of plants and their organs–determine how primary producers respond to …

Large areas of tropical lands are being removed from agriculture and restored to address
conservation goals. However, monitoring the ecological value of these efforts at the …

Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient
coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that …

It was predicted that relationships of leaf mass per area (LMA) with juvenile shade tolerance
will depend on leaf habit, and on whether species are compared at a common age as young …

No species can maximize growth, reproduction and competitive ability across all
environments, so the success of invasive species is habitat-dependent. Nutrient-rich habitats …

The production of aboveground soft tissue represents an important share of total net primary
production in tropical rain forests. Here we draw from a large number of published and …

Functional diversity is critical for ecosystem dynamics, stability and productivity. However,
dynamic global vegetation models (DGVM s) which are increasingly used to simulate …

Tropical forests exhibit complex but poorly understood patterns of leaf phenology.
Understanding species-and individual-level phenological patterns in tropical forests …
