This project will build new understanding of how physiological and morphological traits of plants drive growth rates and reflect evolutionary adaptation to different environments. This is significant because growth rates are pivotal in vegetation ecology and a core element of plant ecological strategies. Expected outcomes include new cost-benefit theory for plant form and function considered at whole-canopy scale, with empirical tests from Australian and Chinese ecosystems and via global trait datasets. Benefits include new approaches for predicting plant physiological properties and growth rates, and new knowledge crucial for understanding links between species traits, plant strategies and, ultimately, ecosystem productivity.

该项目将建立对植物的生理和形态特征如何驱动生长速率的新理解，并反映对不同环境的进化适应。这是重要的，因为生长速率是植被生态学的关键，也是植物生态策略的核心要素。预期成果包括在整个冠层尺度上考虑植物形态和功能的新成本效益理论，并通过澳大利亚和中国生态系统以及全球性状数据集进行实证检验。其益处包括预测植物生理特性和生长速率的新方法，以及对于理解物种性状、植物策略和最终生态系统生产力之间的联系至关重要的新知识。
