商品描述
This book provides a comprehensive exploration of plant functional traits and their critical role in understanding and predicting ecosystem functions in response to environmental changes. By bridging the gap between traditional ecological research and emerging macro-ecological technologies, this book offers an in-depth understanding of how functional traits at various levels, from organs to entire ecosystems, can be utilized to address complex ecological challenges, including global change.
The chapters cover a wide range of topics essential to the field of ecology, including the development and application of plant functional traits, the scaling of traits from individual plants to communities, and the integration of these traits into advanced models and remote sensing technologies. Novel frameworks, such as plant community traits, ecosystem traits (ESTs), and plant trait networks (PTNs) are discussed, providing new ways to link species-level traits with ecosystem processes. These concepts are pivotal in expanding the application of trait-based ecology, allowing for more accurate predictions of ecosystem productivity, community assembly, and biodiversity patterns on a regional and global scale. The book also addresses the challenge of linking leaf and root traits to ecosystem functions, offering insights into how these traits can be scaled up and used to understand the adaptation strategies of plants in complex environments.
Targeted at undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in ecology, this book is ideal for those seeking both fundamental and advanced knowledge of trait-based research in ecology. Offering valuable insights and practical frameworks that are essential for tackling the ecological challenges, the book is a must-read for anyone interested in the integration of macroecology, geography, and remote sensing to solve current regional ecological problems and global change.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書全面探討植物功能性狀及其在理解和預測生態系統功能對環境變化反應中的關鍵角色。通過彌合傳統生態研究與新興宏觀生態技術之間的鴻溝，本書深入了解如何利用從器官到整個生態系統的各個層級的功能性狀來應對複雜的生態挑戰，包括全球變化。
各章節涵蓋生態學領域中一系列重要主題，包括植物功能性狀的發展與應用、從單一植物到社群的性狀尺度化，以及將這些性狀整合進先進模型和遙感技術中。書中討論了新穎的框架，如植物社群性狀、生态系統性狀（ESTs）和植物性狀網絡（PTNs），提供了將物種層級性狀與生態系統過程聯繫起來的新方法。這些概念對於擴展基於性狀的生態學應用至關重要，使得對生態系統生產力、社群組成和生物多樣性模式的預測更加準確，無論是在區域還是全球範圍內。本書還探討了將葉片和根部性狀與生態系統功能聯繫起來的挑戰，提供了如何將這些性狀進行尺度化並用於理解植物在複雜環境中的適應策略的見解。
本書針對本科生、研究生及生態學研究人員，對於那些尋求生態學中基於性狀的研究的基本和進階知識的人來說，這本書是理想的選擇。提供了寶貴的見解和實用的框架，這些都是應對生態挑戰所必需的，本書是任何對宏觀生態學、地理學和遙感整合以解決當前區域生態問題和全球變化感興趣的讀者必讀之作。
