Variation in woody leaf anatomical traits along the altitudinal gradient in Taibai Mountain, China

Xinrui Liu et al.

Summary: Leaf anatomical traits show different patterns of variation along altitudinal gradients at species and community levels. At the species level, traits increase with altitude influenced by phylogenetic and environmental factors, while at the community level, traits first increase and then decrease with elevation mainly influenced by climatic factors. Different environmental factors and phylogenetic differences should be considered when exploring the variation in leaf anatomical traits.

Spatial variation of stomatal morphological traits in grassland plants of the Loess Plateau

Jingguo Sun et al.

Summary: The study investigated stomatal traits of 181 plant species across an environmental gradient on the Loess Plateau. Results showed significant differences in stomatal traits between different grassland types and plant functional groups, with strong correlations with environmental factors.

Leaf traits from stomata to morphology are associated with climatic and edaphic variables for dominant tropical forest evergreen oaks

Yutong Lin et al.

Summary: The study investigated variations in leaf traits of six evergreen oak species along an elevational gradient in a tropical forest landscape. It found that stomatal density and pore index increased, while spongy mesophyll thickness to leaf thickness ratios decreased with elevation, and these changes were mainly correlated to temperature, precipitation, and soil pH. The oak species exhibited different ecological strategies at different elevations, with stress tolerance and competition strategy dominating at low and high elevations and a shift towards a more competitive strategy at intermediate elevations. Soil phosphorus concentration and pH were found to drive the shift in ecological strategy.
