Size- and environment-driven seedling survival and growth are mediated by leaf functional traits by Jiang, Feng, Cadotte, Marc W., Jin, Guangze

“…Ecologists usually find that plant demography (e.g. survival and growth) changes along with plant size and environmental gradients, which suggests the effects…”
