Differentiation of plant adaptive strategies on the Jingpo Lake lava plateau: a comparison of leaf and absorptive root functional trait spectra across different life forms.

Abstract excerpt

Focusing on the highly heterogeneous habitat of the Jingpo Lake lava plateau, this study quantified 24 above- and below-ground functional traits across 12 dominant species. Transcending the conventional single-organ perspective, we investigated whether environmental stress drives the divergence of adaptive strategies by amplifying trait variation among distinct life forms. Woody plants exhibited substantially...
