Correlation of Leaf and Root Traits of Two Angiosperm Tree Species in Northeast China under Contrasting Light and Nitrogen Availabilities

Abstract: Light and nitrogen availability are among the most important environmental factors influencing leaf and root morphological traits and forest ecosystems. Understanding the variation in leaf and root traits is pivotal to the adaptive plasticity and leaf-root-specific traits in response to low light and N availability. The effects of light and N availability on leaf and root traits and their interrelations are still not clear. We aimed to measure the response of leaf and root traits and their interrelations to li… Show more

“…Seedling functional type is a categorical trait that can be used to characterise plant regenerative strategies and plant adaptation to environmental changes [32]. Most of the studies have been carried out on rst-year tree seedlings with phanerocotylar epigeal germination with foliaceous cotyledons and cryptocotylar hypogeal germination with reserve storage cotyledons [31]. Traits of these seedling functional types in uence growth, reproduction, and survival of seedlings in the future [6, 10,34] and are very important indices for understanding how seedlings respond and adapt to changing light conditions [32,33].…”

“…The study of the morphological/ecological characteristics and functional traits of tree seedlings is of keen interest among recent ecological submissions. The seedling stage of trees is particularly critical because survival and performance at this ontogenetic phase of tree development will characterize the future of forest/park ecosystems [31]. All the same, seedling functional types refer to morphology of seedlings in relation to cotyledon function and position.…”
