Precipitation seasonality promotes acquisitive and variable leaf water-economics traits in southwest Australian granite outcrop species
Original language description
Southwestern Australia (SWA) is a global biodiversity hotspot characterized by a mediterranean climate and is among the world’s oldest and resource-poorest landscapes. Within this region, granite outcrops provide habitat complexity, and contribute to high levels of species diversity and endemism. Granite outcrop plant species are characterized by distinct anatomical, morphological and eco-physiological traits. So far, functional studies of SWA granite outcrop plants examined trait patterns along the stark aridity gradient that occurs in the region. Despite precipitation seasonality being an important climatic driver of plant species richness and distribution in mediterranean-type ecosystems, relationships between plant traits and precipitation seasonality remain understudied. Here, we investigated granite outcrop species’ responses to changes in precipitation seasonality in terms of average and variability values of leaf traits related to water use efficiency. We found that plants displayed more acquisitive and variable trait values with increasing precipitation seasonality. These patterns are likely associated with the long-term effect of the stable and predictable precipitation regime in the old SWA that may have fine-tuned plant water use strategies to maximize water acquisition during the most favourable season.
