Research Progress in Trade-offs Among Leaf Functional Traits

Leaf functional traits were important components of plant functional traits, closely related to plant growth and development processes and survival strategies, which also characterized plant ecological adaptation strategies for the environment, being of great significance in ecological research. Through the collection and collation of researches related to leaf functional traits at home and abroad, a summary was given to the types of plant leaf functional traits, ecological significance and trade-off relationship between leaf functional traits, and the shortcomings and directions were analyzed respectively in current and future researches.
