摘要

Interspecific variation in plant functional traits is the basis of species coexistence in natural ecosystems. However, intraspecific variation is extremely important to community assemblage as well. Here, we quantify leaf trait variation within and across 32 dominant shrub species within two different leaf forms (16 evergreen species and 16 deciduous species) in subtropical evergreen and deciduous broadleaf mixed forest in the Karst topography of Guilin, southwest China. Results showed that leaf area (LA) and leaf thickness (LT) of evergreen species were significantly lower than those of deciduous species, whereas specific leaf areas (SLA) and leaf dry matter content (LDMC) showed the opposite pattern. For SLA and LA, the majority variance was found among species (50.82% vs. 65.01%) and little was found within species (22.98% vs. 27.89%), whereas the largest variation was within species (44.87% vs. 48.2%) with little among species (40.73% vs. 43%) for LDMC and LT. The large variability of LDMC and LT within species may reflect niche differentiation and the importance of intraspecific variation on species coexistence. Our results will help design conservation strategies for this unique subtropical evergreen-deciduous broadleaved forest ecosystem.
