1. The relationship between plant size and trait characteristics is a fundamental aspect of the global spectrum that encompasses form function. However, it remains unclear whether affects interspecific variation in leaf structural traits at specific ontogenetic stage. 2. In this research, we investigated traits, height, diameter breast height (or basal diameter) 10 shrub tree species. This study was carried out along an intertidal gradient within mangrove forest located Southeast China. 3. We found differed significantly shrubs trees their response to gradients, which contributes advancement our understanding adaptive strategies evolution varying environmental contexts. Among all species, carbon economics (leaf dry mass content, per area, density) decreased with increasing diameter. For each growth zone, size-trait patterns were consistent those pooled dataset. 4. Collectively, these findings suggest plants undergo size-dependent shift from resource conservation acquisition stature. Therefore, serves as indicator "slow-fast" performance dichotomy strategies.

Leaf functional traits (LFTs) have become a popular topic in ecological research recent years. Here, we measured eight LFTs, namely leaf area (LA), specific (SLA), thickness (LT), dry matter content (LDMC), carbon (LCC), nitrogen (LNC), phosphorus (LPC), and potassium (LKC), six typical vegetation communities (sclerophyllous evergreen broad-leaved forests, temperate coniferous cold-temperate alpine deciduous shrubs, meadows, scree sparse vegetation) the Chayu River Basin, southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Our aim was to explore their relationships with evolutionary history environmental factors by combining RLQ fourth-corner method, method of testing phylogenetic signal. The results showed that (i) there were significant differences LFTs among communities; (ii) K values less than 1; (iii) except for LCC, all other more sensitive changes. Among these traits, LA most affected factors, followed LNC. It study minimally influenced development but significantly This further verified adaptability plants changes provides scientific basis predicting distribution diffusion direction under global change conditions.

Investigating functional traits among mountain species with differing altitude requirements is integral to effective conservation practices. Our study aims investigate the structural and chemical characteristics of Daphniphyllum macropodum leaves at three altitudes (1100 m, 1300 1500 m) across southern China provide insight into changes in leaf (LFT) as well plant adaptations response changing environmental conditions. Leaf include thickness (LT), area (LA), specific (SLA), tissue density (LD), respectively, while properties carbon-nitrogen-phosphorus (C:N:P) contents ratios, such C/N, C/P, N/P. findings demonstrated significant effect on both (LT, SLA, LD) aspects (N, N/P) LFT. In particular, 1100 m differed greatly, having lower SLA values than m. Observable trends included an initial increase followed by a decline rose. Notable them were LT, LD, N, N/P locations. Traits significantly higher m; C/N displayed inverse trend, their lowest occurring Furthermore, this research various degrees variation LFT, exhibiting greater fluctuation traits. Robust correlations observed certain traits, SLA. interdependency relationships between N P interconnectedness. Redundancy analysis indicated that soil factors, specifically content, exerted strongest impact At D. employed acquisition strategies; however, strategies emerged, showing shift from conservative ones.

ABSTRACT Plant size is closely linked to its leaf trait characteristics, which are essential for determining form and function. These relationships constitute a fundamental component of the global spectrum plant diversity. Despite this, size–trait in coastal mangroves have often been overlooked, with common assumption that they would mirror those found terrestrial tropical trees. However, recent studies begun challenge this assumption, revealing unique adaptations variations influenced by their specific environmental conditions, such as salinity nutrient availability. In research, we investigated structural traits, height, diameter at breast height or basal (DBH) 10 shrub tree species. This study was carried out along an intertidal gradient within mangrove forest located Southeast China. We traits differed significantly between shrubs trees response gradients, indicating different species evolved thrive respective zones. insight can help us decipher selective pressures shaped evolution. Among all species, carbon (C) economics (leaf dry mass content, per area, density) decreased increasing DBH. For each growth zone, (height DBH) C were consistent pooled dataset. Our reveals plants exhibit size‐related adjustments economic strategies, potentially acts proxy “slow–fast” continuum performance. discovery pivotal advancing our understanding functional ecology enhancing precision cycle models, highly responsive perturbations atmospheric CO 2 climate change.
