The plant economics spectrum describes the trade‐off between plant resource acquisition
and storage, and sheds light on plant responses to environmental changes. However, the …

The response of leaf functional traits can provide vital insight into the adaptive strategies of
plants under global change. However, empirical knowledge on the acclimation of functional …

By modifying the biotic and abiotic properties of the soil, plants create soil legacies that can
affect vegetation dynamics through plant–soil feedbacks (PSF). PSF are generally attributed …

Grime's strategies (competitor, stress tolerator, ruderal; CSR) represent viable trait
combinations with which species deal with environmental conditions. CSR strategies are …

Variations in plant characteristics in response to habitat heterogeneity can provide valuable
insights into the mechanisms governing plant responses to environmental conditions. In this …

Question Predicting the functional response of vegetation to environmental variations
remains highly challenging. A first reason is that trait–environment relationships result from …

Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is a primary determinant of stomatal behaviour and water
balance in plants. With increasing global temperature, the accompanying rise in VPD is …

The study of tree species coexistence is crucial to understand the assembly of forest
communities. In this context, trees adjust their traits in response to the interactions with other …

Abstract Background and Aims Mixed forest plantations are increasingly recognized for their
role in mitigating the impacts of climate change and enhancing ecosystem resilience. Yet …

Phenotypic plasticity can increase the extent of the environmental gradient occupied by a
species (niche breadth) and modify the portion of niche space shared among co‐occurring …
