Response of plant functional traits to climate change

Abstract

Climate change has caused serious impacts on the ecosystem, including destroying the stability of the ecosystem and affecting the biodiversity of the ecosystem. Plant functional traits show good response and adaptation to environmental changes, and the change of plant functional traits will indicate climate change. It is a hot research topic to identify the mechanism of the effects of plant functional traits on climate change. By studying relevant references, this paper conducted in-depth studies on leaf functional traits, root traits and the relationship between leaf and root traits among plant functional traits. On this basis, the direction of climate change was further clarified by predicting the development trend of functional traits, and the relationship between plant functional traits and climate change was further discussed.
