Response of community‐aggregated plant functional traits along grazing gradients: insights from African semi‐arid grasslands

QUESTIONS: Plant communities fulfil key functions in the ecosystem, which can be characterized by their plant functional traits. In functional ecology, plant communities are considered to hold a set of trait attributes reflecting a specific plant strategy adapted to persist in the environment to whi...
