Trait variation across different life history stages of trees and its impact on net photosynthetic rate
In summary, our findings emphasize the importance of water transport efficiency in photosynthesis and reveal the coordinated relationship between water transport and net photosynthetic efficiency across different life history stages of trees. These findings provide new insights into how trees adjust their functional traits to respond to environmental stress during their growth and have important implications for maintaining productivity and balancing biodiversity in forest ecosystems.
