Rebekka Gerlach et al. found that #Irrigation and #Fertilization led to differences in #SoilProperties and #SoilNutrients without impact on sheer #PlantSpeciesDiversity but on #PlantSpeciesComposition. Thus, irrigation may prove a tool to differentiate between #PlantFunctionalTraits.

In order to clarify the relationship between #PlantFunctionalTraits and #InvasionLevel, Yueyan Pan et al. established a #PredictionModel based on plant functional traits and #Taxonomy. The results showed that exotic plant species with longer seed bank longevity and lower seed dry mass were more likely to be invasive in China.
