“…We attributed this inconsistency to the different evolutionary processes associated with the different taxa and phylogenetic scales studied ( Figueroa and Smith, 2020 ; Valverde-Barrantes et al, 2020 ). The weak effects of phylogeny were indicative of evolutionary lability during seed plant diversification, resulting in considerable trait distinctiveness across lineages ( Cornwell et al, 2014 ; Amaral et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, most of the phylogenetic effects on leaf traits were observed at the family level, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies ( Yang et al, 2018 ; Zhang et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Species with similar functional traits are often phylogenetically similar (Losos, 2008 ). When a strong phylogenetic signal is detected in functional traits, environmental filters are probably selected for phylogenetically close species, causing phylogenetic clustering (Amaral et al, 2021 ). Here, only a number of leaf structural traits (LA and LT) showed strong and significant phylogenetic signals, indicating that LA and LT were closely related to phylogenetic history and showed strong phylogenetic conservation; that is, the more phylogenetically close species were more similar to LA and LT. All the dominant tree species had considerably high values of LA, except the deciduous tree species ( Q. fabri and A. kurzii var.…”

“…This observation was similar to that by Jiang et al (2018) for temperate deciduous broad-leaved Korean pine forests, in which functional traits could not better reveal ecological processes compared with that by species. However, integrating functional traits with phylogeny can greatly improve the ability to infer determinative and stochastic processes, and trait-and phylogenetic-based approaches are powerful ways to detect community assembly processes (Li et al, 2019;Amaral et al, 2021). We found that the interpretation rate of community assembly based on functional traits (63.38%) was higher than that based on phylogeny (47.96 %).…”
