Trait-Based Ecology is a conceptual framework within plant functional ecology that uses measurable morphological, physiological, or phenological traits to predict species performance, interactions, and ecosystem functioning, distinguishing itself from traditional taxonomic approaches by focusing on functional characteristics rather than phylogenetic identity.
