In this project, we aim to synthesize data of functional attributes (traits) of species with community characteristics (processes) as basis for a mechanistic understanding of the importance of plant species diversity for ecosystem functioning. In particular, the goal is to relate species physiological and morphological characteristics and demographic processes of plant populations to plant community properties. The following objectives will be addressed: (1) temporal changes in plant community composition, (2) plant functional traits and their relationships to community properties, (3) importance of species plasticity for biodiversityecosystem functioning relationships, and (4) incorporation of plant traits into the conceptual framework of species dominance and complementarity. In addition, we aim to continue measurements on temporal changes in plant community composition and to carry out specific experiments to get further insight in plant species interactions and the importance of species plasticity.

在这个项目中，我们的目标是综合具有社区特征（过程）的物种功能属性（特征）的数据，以此作为对植物物种多样性对生态系统功能重要性的重要性的基础。特别是，目标是将物种的生理和形态学特征和植物种群的人口特征与植物社区特性联系起来。将解决以下目标：（1）植物群落组成的时间变化，（2）植物功能性状及其与社区特性的关系，（3）物种可塑性对生物多样性元素系统功能关系的重要性，以及（4）将植物特征纳入物种优势和互补性的概念框架中。此外，我们旨在继续测量植物群落组成的时间变化，并进行特定的实验，以进一步了解植物物种相互作用和物种可塑性的重要性。
