Eco‐physiological and morphological traits explain alpine plant species' response to warming

Abstract: Climate is changing faster now than it has in the last 2000 years (IPCC, 2021), and ecological communities are being reshuffled as a consequence (Davis & Shaw, 2001;Parmesan & Yohe, 2003).Predicting which types of species are likely to suffer or benefit from changing climate and species interactions is needed for accurate estimates of future community composition and ecosystem function.How plant species respond to environmental change depends on their eco-physiological properties (Beyschlag & Ryel, 2007).

“…Our study explains how shade tolerance and tree size affect tree photosynthesis indirectly by affecting leaf structure traits on a local scale, which makes up for the data gaps in related fields and provides new evidence for the relationship between tree traits. However, it is undeniable that all our experiments were conducted on a limited number of tree species in broad-leaved Korean pine forests in northern China, which means limitations, because leaf traits of trees usually vary with different plant functional groups or environmental conditions [ 19 , 45 ]. In future research, we hope to make up for the deficiency of the current research through more experiments.…”

“…The most representative theory is the leaf economic spectrum (LES) theory put forward by Wright et al in 2004, which holds that trees with higher photosynthetic rates are located at the end of resource acquisition and tend to have higher leaf N, leaf phosphorus content (P) and lower leaf mass per unit area (LMA) [ 17 ]. Over the next twenty years, this trade-off reflected by LES theory has been verified by a large number of reports and widely recognized [ 18 , 19 ]. However, some structural traits not included in LES are also closely related to photosynthesis.…”

“…To support this endeavor, we identified a set of four key considerations for future species range shift–trait studies. Clarifying the mechanistic basis of trait‐based approaches : Traits selected based on theory‐driven links to range limit‐specific shifts (e.g., Visakorpi et al., 2023) as opposed to traits with vague or conflicting connections with range shifts have more potential to resolve the underlying mechanisms of range shifts. As the field of species redistribution research matures, opportunities emerge to refine our conceptualization of the range shift processes for example by exploring the stage‐dependent processes during range expansions and contractions (e.g., Monaco et al., 2020).…”

“…For example, body size is viewed as a master trait or the ‘Swiss army knife’ trait that is integrative of a large number of physiological, life history, and behavioral processes (Box 3; Figure 2). Therefore, even if body size can be an efficient predictor of range shifts, it provides only weak mechanistic understanding owing to trait covariations (Visakorpi et al., 2023), especially as these trait syndromes may be inconsistent across taxonomic groups. For example, small‐bodied species are usually associated with higher fecundity and shorter generation time among terrestrial animals (r‐strategists) but not necessarily among aquatic animals (Winemiller & Rose, 1992).…”

“…While functional traits are used to predict plant responses to environmental change (Visakorpi et al, 2023), to what extent changes in plant abundance are predicted by functional traits is less known, particularly in the context of forest disturbance. Hence, understanding.…”
