Exploring urban remnant forest soil bacterial diversity responses to woody plant leaf functional traits

Changing Relationship between Specific Leaf Area and Leaf Matter Dry Content of Moso Bamboo Phyllostachys pubescens syn. edulis (Poales: Poaceae) under the Stress of Pantana phyllostachysae (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)

“…Leaf functional traits serve as reflections of the physiological and morphological adaptations undertaken by plants in response to environmental changes [12][13][14]. Within this array of traits, SLA and LDMC emerge as pivotal indicators, encapsulating a plant's ability to harness resources and adapt to its environment for survival [15][16][17][18]. SLA, denoted as the ratio of leaf unifacial area to leaf dry weight, provides insights into a plant's adaptive condition in diverse environmental conditions [15,19].…”

“…Within this array of traits, SLA and LDMC emerge as pivotal indicators, encapsulating a plant's ability to harness resources and adapt to its environment for survival [15][16][17][18]. SLA, denoted as the ratio of leaf unifacial area to leaf dry weight, provides insights into a plant's adaptive condition in diverse environmental conditions [15,19]. It serves as a fundamental leaf trait within the global leaf economic phenotype spectrum, offering a key component in plant carbon harvesting strategies and indicating the efficiency of plants in utilizing light, temperature, and water resources [20][21][22].…”
