Tree height, leaf thickness and seed size drive Caatinga plants' sensitivity to climate change

Carlos E. Carvalho,
Júlia C. Sfair,
Cleiton B. Eller
et al.

Abstract: AimThe Anthropocene climate crisis may shift the distribution range of various species. Global Climate Models predict an increase in temperature and changes in precipitation across the Brazilian tropical semiarid region. Based on the joint analysis of functional traits and plant distribution models, we aim to identify which functional traits define the vulnerability of plants to climate change.LocationCaatinga, Brazil.TaxonTrees‐shrub plants.MethodsWe selected 36 species common to at least 25% of the floristic… Show more

“…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]. In contrast, LDMC is intricately linked to the nutritional status of plants and the establishment of carbon pools [16,23]. The study of leaf functional traits is indispensable for comprehending and predicting plant responses to environmental changes amid the global shift.…”
