Coordination of flux-related leaf and root traits impacts forest community assembly

Zeqing Ma, Mengcheng Duan, Lawren Sack, Chengen Ma, Le Li, Michael McCormack, Mingzhen Lu, Dali Guo

The paper measures leaf and root traits in woody species to assess coordination and its impact on community structure, finding coordination of hydraulic traits and associations with ectomycorrhizal symbiosis and dominance.
