Article Synopsis
- Plant functional traits help understand how plants adapt to their environments, especially in desert-wetland ecosystems, yet research on their trade-off strategies is limited.
- This study focused on the Daliyabuyi Oasis in the Taklamakan Desert, analyzing how surface water and groundwater depth affect plant traits like height and nutrient content across different habitats.
- Findings indicate that as water availability changes, plant traits shift from reduced resource acquisition strategies to more resource-demanding ones, with the majority of trait variation arising from differences between species, but intraspecific variation also plays a significant role.
