Aims Vegetation‐plot records provide information on the presence and cover or abundance
of plants co‐occurring in the same community. Vegetation‐plot data are spread across …

功能生物地理学研究性状及其多样性的时空分布变化, 生态成因及其对生态系统功能的影响.
近十来年, 功能生物地理学领域发展迅速, 性状数据呈指数增长, 基于性状探索物种分布 …

There are great concerns about the impacts of soil biodiversity loss on ecosystem functions
and services such as nutrient cycling, food production, and carbon storage. A diverse …

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 …

Aim Despite several recent efforts to map plant traits and to identify their climatic drivers,
there are still major gaps. Global trait patterns for major functional groups, in particular, the …

Understanding plant trait coordination and variance across climatic gradients is critical for
assessing forests' adaptive potential to climate change. We measured 11 hydraulic …

Ecosystem processes are driven by both environmental variables and the attributes of
component species. The extent to which these effects are independent and/or dependent …

Leaf traits are important indicators of plants' adaptive strategy to environmental changes. It is
an established fact that leaf traits are jointly regulated by climatic and edaphic factors …

Seasonal variations in foliar nutrient concentrations are an important strategy of plants to
adapt to different climates and availabilities of soil nutrients. Gaps in our knowledge …

Leaf traits can reflect plant photosynthetic capacity, resource utilization strategy and
adaptability to the environment. However, whether species' leaf traits are tightly related to …
