Abstract

Understanding the future of ecological communities under global change is among the most pressing challenges in plant ecology. Islands, with their reduced species diversity and clear boundaries, have been central in developing ecological theories and have served as valuable ecological models. But islands are also important in themselves, supporting unique diversity and acting as species refugia. This Tansley insight first discusses recent advances in island research with a focus on new theories linking functional traits to plant community assembly and then highlights implications for community assembly and conservation in response to global change. Understanding how plant traits respond to changing environmental conditions is critical for predicting the future of island floras and devising effective management strategies.

基于性状的岛屿生物地理学：研究未来生态群落的工具。

了解全球变化下生态群落的未来是植物生态学面临的最紧迫挑战之一。岛屿由于物种多样性减少和边界明确，一直是发展生态学理论的中心，并已成为有价值的生态模型。但岛屿本身也很重要，它们支持着独特的多样性，充当着物种避难所的角色。Tansley的见解首先讨论了岛屿研究的最新进展，重点关注将功能性状与植物群落聚集联系起来的新理论，然后强调了群落聚集和保护在应对全球变化中的意义。了解植物性状如何对变化的环境条件作出反应，对于预测岛屿植物区系的未来和制定有效的管理策略至关重要。

期刊介绍： New Phytologist is an international electronic journal published 24 times a year. It is owned by the New Phytologist Foundation, a non-profit-making charitable organization dedicated to promoting plant science. The journal publishes excellent, novel, rigorous, and timely research and scholarship in plant science and its applications. The articles cover topics in five sections: Physiology & Development, Environment, Interaction, Evolution, and Transformative Plant Biotechnology. These sections encompass intracellular processes, global environmental change, and encourage cross-disciplinary approaches. The journal recognizes the use of techniques from molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, modeling, and system-based approaches in plant science. Abstracting and Indexing Information for New Phytologist includes Academic Search, AgBiotech News & Information, Agroforestry Abstracts, Biochemistry & Biophysics Citation Index, Botanical Pesticides, CAB Abstracts®, Environment Index, Global Health, and Plant Breeding Abstracts, and others.
