Changes in community-weighted mean trait values for the liana community in different successional stages. Different letters represent significant differences (P < 0.05). LDMC, leaf dry matter content; SLA, specific leaf area; LNC, leaf nitrogen concentrations; LCC, leaf carbon concentrations; WD, wood density; SRL, specific root length; RNC, root nitrogen concentrations; RCC, root carbon concentrations.
