Different responses of canopy and shrub leaves to canopy nitrogen and water addition in warm temperate forest
These regulatory processes enable the leaves to withstand external disturbances and maintain their relative stability under changing environmental conditions. The study findings underscore the limitations of previous research, which often relied on the direct application of treatments to the understory and so failed to accurately assess the effects of nitrogen and water on leaf functional traits. Future studies should adopt canopy-level nitrogen and water addition to better simulate the impacts of global environmental change.
