Strong Environmental Filtering Based on Hydraulic Traits Occurring in the Lower Water Availability of Temperate Forest Communities

The trait-based approaches have made progress in understanding the community assembly process.Here, we explore the key traits that may shape community assembly patterns of the same community type but within different water availabilities.Natural Quercus wutaishanica forests were chosen as a suitable study system to test the difference between econo
