Shifts in ecological strategy spectra of typical forest vegetation types across four climatic zones

Abstract Ecological strategy spectrum is the relative proportion of species in different categories of ecological strategies in a biotic community. Here, we explored ecological strategy spectra in typical forest vegetation types across four climatic zones in China. We classified ecological strategy...
