Patterns of Allocation CSR Plant Functional Types in Northern Europe

Figure 1

The basic classification of plant functional types [11]. (a) Main axes: axis of competition (ability of plants to displace the other species under favorable environmental conditions); axis of stress tolerance (ability to withstand long-term adverse environmental conditions); and axis of ruderality (ability to grow faster in disturbed sites). (b) Primary, secondary, and tertiary functional types (a total of 19 types). (c) Triple coordinates of the types.
