Environmental stress and plant-plant interactions jointly shape intertidal cordgrass traits across broad spatial scales
In intertidal ecosystems, plant functional traits are strongly shaped by environmental stress induced by e.g. hydrodynamic disturbance and salinity. Meanwhile, local-scale plant-plant interactions (such as facilitation) can also affect plant traits to a certain extent. However, it remains unclear how these abiotic and...
