Plant functional traits and nutrient gradients on grassland

2012-09-01

Abstract excerpt

The traditional way of interpreting environmental and management effects on floristic composition based on phytoâsociological classification is increasingly accompanied by a traitâbased approach. Plant functional traits (PFT) enable us to link morphological, physiological and phenological plant properties to their functions. Recent research on PFT has significantly improved our understanding on competitive abi...
