On-spot persistence, space occupancy, and recovery after damage are key plant functions largely understudied. Traits relevant to these functions are difficult to assess because of their relationships to plant modularity. We suggest that developing collection protocols for these traits is feasible and could facilitate their inclusion in global syntheses.

植物模块化性状：功能与挑战

现场持久性，空间占用和损坏后的恢复是主要研究不足的关键工厂功能。由于这些功能与工厂模块性之间的关系，因此很难评估与这些功能相关的特征。我们建议针对这些特征开发收集方案是可行的，并且可以促进将其纳入全球综合研究。
