Linkage of plant trait space to successional age and species richness in boreal forest understorey vegetation
Original language description
Determining the changes in within- and between-species functional diversity in plant communities, and their contribution to overall species trait overlap, can enhance efforts at understanding mechanisms of species coexistence. However, little is known about how variation in species functional diversity influences variation in species trait overlap among contrasting environments. Here, we studied the understorey vegetation in a well-characterized 5000-year-old chronosequence involving 30 forested islandsthat differ greatly in size, soil fertility and species diversity. Across this chronosequence, we expected consistent changes in both within- and between-species functional diversity that would lead to decreasing overall species trait overlap with increasing successional age, species richness, understorey vegetation density and spatial heterogeneity of soil resources. For each island, we measured specific leaf area (SLA) of each of ten individuals of each plant species present. Using a
