What are some savanna plant adaptations? Savanna Life: The savanna is the most famous ecosystem in Africa (and perhaps the world), home to huge animals like elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and lions. Despite the abundance of life, surviving in this region is not easy. ...
Vegetation refers to the mosaic of plant life found on the landscape. The vegetation of a region has developed from the numerous elements of the local flora but is shaped also by nonfloristic physiological and environmental influences. Vegetation is an organized whole, at a higher level of integr...

The China plant trait database version 2 Article Open access 15 December 2022 Introduction Despite the vast diversity of life on Earth, vascular plants are limited by trade-offs in leaf1, wood2, seed3 and root4 traits, enabling the characteristics of global plant species to be organised alon...

2003), namely light demand, nutrient demand, life-span, specific leaf area (SLA), seed mass (i.e., for individual seed), and seed number (i.e., number of seed for each individual plant). According to literature, those are the traits which are expected to be affected by fire severity...
Savannas are exceptional ecotypes because two life forms co-dominate - grasses and trees. Most research focussed on this tree-grass coexistence whereas tree-tree coexistence has been largely neglected. Negative conspecific plant-soil feedback is a major concept posited to contribute to tree-tree ...

Woody vegetation in grasslands and savannas has increased worldwide over the past 100–200 years. This phenomenon of “woody plant encroachment” (WPE) has been documented to occur at different times but at comparable rates in rangelands of the Americas, Australia, and southern Africa. The objecti...
We expect winners to be mainly tall shrubs, given that they are the current dominant life form in warmer niches, and losers to be mostly dwarf shrubs, which tend to predominate in colder climatic niches69. We hypothesise that species with greater ITV in all traits will be winners, and vice...
