This study investigates agricultural droughts driven by plant stress due to soil moisture deficits using crop stress functions available in the literature.
We find substantial co-movement between such segments and show that it can be driven by plant-wide but not firm-wide shocks.
Several significant species and year-to-year differences were observed among the allocation and growth characteristics that were driven by plant size, climate and seedling source.
Conversely, invasion density was driven by plant fecundity and seedling survival and not dispersal potential; the highest invasion densities were predicted for open habitats, with relatively low densities for evergreen habitats.
Overall, our results suggest that a combination of biotic processes (driven by plant life-history traits) and abiotic filters (e.g., post-fire climate) determine the early post-fire recovery process.
Hence, the descriptive evidence in Table 1 is likely to be driven by plant size, industry, and union effects.
This beneficial effect may be mainly driven by plant protein, according to results in observational studies.
At the landscape scale, these patterns have been suggested to be driven by plant communities [11], [12], [13], [14].
Our finding is crucial since recent work has demonstrated that global gradients in decomposition rates, for example, are primarily driven by plant functional traits rather than climate [27], emphasizing the need for better understanding of the interplay between functional structure of communities and ecosystem functioning.
Additionally, the high correlation might be driven by plant intrinsic mechanistic correlations between traits.
