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

A phylogenetic-tree style diagram of Australian PFTs based on growth form, nitrogen fixation, water requirements, and environments.

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.
