Abstract

Aims: Establishing the relationship between plant functional traits and community dynamics is one of the core issues of functional ecology.Previous studies have found weak evidence of a relationship between functional traits and growth rate relationships in tree communities, highlighting the evidence that functional traits often fail to predict growth rate.It
