Plant functional traits along an old-field succession in the high tropical Andes
The study examined plant functional traits—including specific leaf area (SLA), CO2 assimilation rates (Amax), leaf nitrogen content (Nleaf), and biomass allocation—along a successional gradient in the high tropical Andes. Results indicate that traits associated with rapid growth dominate early succession, with SLA, Amax, and Nleaf decreasing as succession progresses for grasses. Notably, the study found no evidence that drought resistance traits dominate late succession stages, contradicting some previous research.
