Satellite images from space are allowing scientists to delve deeper into the individual functions of different tropical forest canopies with new and surprising results. Understanding tree traits and ...

Many native plants in the U.S. cannot possibly move themselves fast enough to avoid climate-change-driven extinction. If ...

Plant function is determined by a set of morphological and physiological traits that influence survival, growth and reproduction. These sets of traits have been used to classify and characterize ...

This study summarizes the current research status of the impacts of crop domestication and improvement on root characteristics and the structure and function of related microbial communities, deeply ...

It encompasses genetic and functional genomic studies on human and plant traits and on other model organisms. Current emphasis is on the genetic basis for common and complex diseases and on the ...

While factors like water, temperature, and soil influence plant traits, we don't fully understand how they affect forest function. Predicting plant trait distributions over large areas usually ...
