Abstract Functional trait distances between coexisting organisms reflect not only complementarity in the way they use resources, but also differences their competitive abilities. Accordingly, absolute and relative have been widely used to capture effects of niche dissimilarity hierarchies, respectively, on performance plants competition. However, multiple dimensions plant phenotype are involved these plant–plant interactions (PPI), challenging predict outcomes. Furthermore, estimating...
Abstract Plant ecologists and molecular biologists have long considered the hypothesis of a trade-off between plant growth defence separately. In particular, how genes thought to control growth–defence at level relate trait-based frameworks in functional ecology, such as slow–fast economics spectrum, is unknown. We grew 49 phenotypically diverse rice genotypes pots under optimal conditions measured growth-related traits constitutive expression 11 involved defence. also quantified...
Summary The lack of affordable mineral fertilizers and scarcity organic materials cause decline in soil fertility for smallholder farmers producers the highlands Madagascar, challenging crop productivity. To fulfill plant growth nutrition, we explored effect 132 combinations 17 different fertilizing resources, both mineral, on rice nutrition using a greenhouse experiment. Two clustering approaches were used to evaluate effects resources: elemental functional clustering. Elemental grouped...
Rice plays a critical role in human livelihoods and food security. However, its cultivation requires inputs that are not accessible to all farming communities can have negative effects on ecosystems. simultaneously, ecological research demonstrates biodiversity management within fields contributes ecosystem functioning. This study aims evaluate the mixture effect of four functionally distinct rice varieties terms characteristics agronomic performance their spatial arrangement upland...
