The variation and correlation among desert plant traits are helpful to understanding the adaptation strategies of plants to the environment and the mechanism of community assembly. However, the diversity and covariation among fine root traits of desert plants and their phylogenetic relationships remain unclear. Principal component analysis, Pearson...

Drought-induced plant mortality, resulting from either hydraulic failure or carbon starvation, is hypothesized to be modulated by the drought intensity. However, there is a paucity of research investigating the response strategies in desert shrubs under drought stress with different intensities. We transplanted potted Reaumuria soongorica (Pall.) M...

Hydraulic traits are essential functional characteristics of plants related to water absorption, transport, and loss, serving as indicators of a plant’s adaptability to prevailing environmental water conditions. However, the hydraulic traits of shrub, particularly desert plants in arid and semi-arid regions, have been underexplored. In this study,...

Characterizing variation and association of plant traits is critical for understanding plant adaptation strategies and community assembly mechanisms. However, little is known about the leaf trait variations of desert plants and their association with different life forms. We used principal component analysis, Pearson's correlation, phylogenetic ind...

Characterizing variation and association of plant traits is critical for understanding plant adaptation strategies and community-building mechanisms. However, little is known about the variation in leaf traits and the association between traits in desert plants of different life types. We used principal components analysis, Pearson’s correlation, p...
