Drought resilience among plant families and genera. Quercus is used as the reference genus for statistical comparisons. Solid white circles indicate means; boxes represent interquartile range (IQR) with medians as lines. Whiskers extend to 1.5 × IQR, and points beyond this range are potential outliers. P < 0.01 (**), P < 0.001 (***).

The temperate northern #PlantFunctionalTypes don't accurately represent Australian flora and yet dominate existing vegetation models. Laura Williams proposes 22 new PFTs to predict where plants grow where in #Australia under future climate scenarios.

Global patterns and driving factors of non-leaf litter carbon quality across plant functional types and environments
Abstract. Carbon (C) quality of non-leaf litter is closely related to decomposition rate and plays a vital role in terrestrial ecosystem C sequestration. H
