\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlant Function Traits: Linking Climate and Ecosystem Functioning, \u003c/i\u003epart of the\u003ci\u003e Plant Biology, Sustainability and Climate Change\u003c/i\u003e series, presents a wholistic understanding of Plant Functional Traits. As global climate change advances, natural resources are facing increasing survival challenges, hence this book directly addresses that need, exploring the morphological, physiological, and phenological properties of a plant that can be used as a proxy to understand plant environment interactions. Users will find great illustrations throughout individual chapters, along with case studies that demonstrate applications of functional traits in classifying vegetation of a region into distinct type groups as Plant Functional Types (PFTs).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditional information includes applications in the development of new generation of Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) and an understanding of the response of vegetation to changing environments.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePresents foundational insights into multiple functional trait axes\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDescribes the quantification of functional traits from individuals to regions\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eIncludes the role of functional traits in developing new vegetation models for assessing the impact of climate change on plants\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
