Response of leaf functional traits to soil nutrients in the wet and dry seasons in a subtropical forest on an island

IntroductionIsland ecosystems often have a disproportionate number of endemic species and unique and fragile functional characteristics. However, few examples of this type of ecosystem have been reported.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive field study on Neilingding Island, southern China. The leaf...
