Decomposing functional trait associations in a Chinese subtropical forest.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Li Xuefei, Pei Kequan, Kéry Marc, Niklaus Pascal A, Schmid Bernhard

Abstract excerpt

Functional traits, properties of organisms correlated with ecological performance, play a central role in plant community assembly and functioning. To some extents, functional traits vary in concert, reflecting fundamental ecological strategies. While "trait syndromes" characteristic of e.g. fast-growing, early-successional vs. competitive, late-successional species are recognized in principle, less is known...
