DOI: 10.1002/ece3.71768
Abstract: ABSTRACT Trees growing in more diverse stands generally experience less herbivory than those in less diverse ones, potentially due to neighbourhood‐mediated variations in traits which influence leaf palatability. While numerous studies have assessed leaf trait… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8516
Abstract: Abstract Aims Understanding the joint effects of plant development and environment on shifts of intraspecific leaf traits will advance the understandings of the causes of intraspecific trait variation. We address this question by focusing on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.4831
Abstract: Drought has a significant impact on plant–insect interactions by altering plant survival, growth, leaf quality, and defense traits. Tropical plants are particularly vulnerable to water depression because of shallow root depth. In the context of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.1637
Abstract: Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores alter plant communities directly by selectively consuming plant species; and indirectly by inducing morphological and physiological changes to plant traits that provide competitive or survivorship advantages to some life forms over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/oik.11137
Abstract: The distribution of plant functional traits across environmental gradients can reflect species' adaptations to local abiotic conditions. Widely measured leaf traits such as leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), and leaf dry matter content… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-019-01060-2
Abstract: Leaf trait-based research has become the preferred method to understand the ecological strategies of plants. However, there is still a debate on whether area-based or mass-based traits provide different insights into environmental adaptations and responses.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pld.2019.06.003
Abstract: Transpiration through stomata in tree canopies plays an important role in terrestrial water cycles. However, the empirical relationship between leaf stomata anatomy and canopy stomatal conductance (Gs) is surprisingly rare, thereby the underlying biological mechanisms… read more here.
