Functional Trait-based Restoration

Functional Trait-Based Restoration is a restoration ecology framework that systematically selects plant species based on their measurable functional traits—such as leaf area, seed mass, or root depth—to enhance ecosystem functioning, resilience, and assembly predictability in degraded habitats.
