Spatial heterogeneity of soil factors enhances intraspecific variation in plant functional traits in a desert ecosystem
This study emphasizes the differences in soil heterogeneity and intraspecific trait variation among plant life forms under various soil moisture-salinity habitats and confirms the significant promoting effect of soil heterogeneity on intraspecific trait variation of desert plant. Our findings provide valuable theoretical basis and reference for predicting plant adaptation strategies under environmental change scenarios.
