Abstract: Abstract The composition of vegetation on a slope frequently changes substantially owing to the different micro‐environments of various slope aspects. To understand how the slope aspect affects the vegetation changes, we examined the variations in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1803989115
Abstract: Significance Leaf traits, such as photosynthetic capacity, nitrogen concentration, and leaf mass per area, strongly affect plant growth and nutrient cycles. Understanding relationships among leaf traits is, therefore, a fundamental challenge in plant biology, crop… read more here.
