Abstract excerpt
Ecologists usually find that plant demography (e.g. survival and growth) changes along with plant size and environmental gradients, which suggests the effects of ontogeny-related processes and abiotic filtering. However, the role of functional traits underlying the size- and environment-demography relationships is usually overlooked. By measuring individual-level leaf traits of more than 2700 seedlings in a...
