Plant functional types and research methods

Abstract

Abstract: Plant functional types were applied widespreadly to research fields of plant ecology. Studies of PFTs is benefit to expatiate relation of vegetation and disturbance and to analyse losing of biodisversity and invasion of ruderal in arid region. We summarized the conception, application, methods and trend of plant functional types and introduced model structure of PFTs and application of the model in prediction and management of vegetation. The objective of the summary described in this paper is to promote the management and study of plant of arid regions in China.

Key words: Red soil, Enzyme activity, Correlation analysis, Cluster analysis
