Functional traits, that is morpho-physio-phenological traits that impact fitness indirectly via their effects on growth, reproduction, and survival [1],
allow to characterise fuctional diversity in forest canopies, which is an indicator of forest's resilience to environmental stress.
In this recent Nature article, colleagues were able to characterise functional diversity on a large scale and thus compare tropical forests across continents, showing clearly differences in functional diversity and divergence among tropical forest types
