Exploring trait-performance relationships of tree seedlings along experimentally manipulated light and water gradients.

Abstract excerpt

A foundational assumption of trait-based ecology is that individual performances should be predicted by its functional traits. However, the trait-performance relationships reported in literature were typically weak, probably due to the ignorance of interactions between traits and environments, intraspecific trait variability, and hard traits (directly linked to physiological processes of interest). We conducted...
