Project description
Multi-traits covariation and plant trait-network represent the environmental adaptation mechanism of evolution and physiology, becoming a hot issue in the current research. In this research, the main objective is to optimize dynamic vegetation models by developing more refined plant functional types incorporated with the information of plant trait networks.
