Montane Temperate-Boreal Forests Retain the Leaf Economic Spectrum Despite Intraspecific Variability

Montane Temperate-Boreal Forests Retain the Leaf Economic Spectrum Despite Intraspecific Variability

Trait-based analyses provide powerful tools for developing a generalizable, physiologically grounded understanding of how forest communities are responding to ongoing environmental changes. Key challenges lie in (1) selecting traits that best characterize the ecological performance of species in the...
