Addressing the intraspecific variability of functional traits helps understand how climate change might influence the distribution of organismal traits across environments, but this is notably understudied in the Amazon, especially for plant hydraulic traits commonly used to project drought responses. We quantified the intraspecific trait variability of leaf mass per area, wood density, and xylem embolism resistance for two dominant central Amazonian tree species, along gradients of water and light availability, while accounting for tree age and height. Intraspecific variability in hydraulic traits was high, with within-species variability comparable to the whole-community variation. Hydraulic trait variation was modulated mostly by the hydrological environment, with higher embolism resistance of trees growing on deep-water-table plateaus compared with shallow-water-table valleys. Intraspecific variability of leaf mass per area and wood density was mostly modulated by intrinsic factors and light. The different environmental and intrinsic drivers of variation among and within individuals lead to an uncoupled coordination among carbon acquisition/conservation and water-use traits. Our findings suggest multivariate ecological strategies driving tropical tree distributions even within species, and reflect differential within-population sensitivities along environmental gradients. Therefore, intraspecific trait variability must be considered for accurate predictions of the responses of tropical forests to climate change.

局部水文梯度构成了两种主要的中部亚马逊树种植物水力性状的高种内变异性

解决功能性状的种内变异性有助于了解气候变化如何影响生物性状在环境中的分布,但这在亚马逊地区的研究尤其不足,特别是对于通常用于预测干旱响应的植物水力性状。我们量化了两种主要的亚马逊中部树种的单位面积叶质量、木材密度和木质部栓塞抗性的种内性状变异性,沿着水和光照的梯度,同时考虑了树龄和高度。水力性状的种内变异性很高,种内变异与整个群落变异相当。水文性状变异主要受水文环境的调节,与浅水位山谷相比,在深水位高原上生长的树木的抗栓塞性更高。单位面积叶质量和木材密度的种内变异性主要受内在因素和光的调节。个体之间和个体内部差异的不同环境和内在驱动因素导致碳获取/保护和用水特征之间的不耦合协调。我们的研究结果表明,即使在物种内部也有多种生态策略驱动热带树木分布,并反映了沿环境梯度的不同种群内部敏感性。因此,为了准确预测热带森林对气候变化的反应,必须考虑种内性状变异性。单位面积叶质量和木材密度的种内变异性主要受内在因素和光的调节。个体之间和个体内部差异的不同环境和内在驱动因素导致碳获取/保护和用水特征之间的不耦合协调。我们的研究结果表明,即使在物种内部也有多种生态策略驱动热带树木分布,并反映了沿环境梯度的不同种群内部敏感性。因此,为了准确预测热带森林对气候变化的反应,必须考虑种内性状变异性。单位面积叶质量和木材密度的种内变异性主要受内在因素和光的调节。个体之间和个体内部差异的不同环境和内在驱动因素导致碳获取/保护和用水特征之间的不耦合协调。我们的研究结果表明,即使在物种内部也有多种生态策略驱动热带树木分布,并反映了沿环境梯度的不同种群内部敏感性。因此,为了准确预测热带森林对气候变化的反应,必须考虑种内性状变异性。个体之间和个体内部差异的不同环境和内在驱动因素导致碳获取/保护和用水特征之间的不耦合协调。我们的研究结果表明,即使在物种内部也有多种生态策略驱动热带树木分布,并反映了沿环境梯度的不同种群内部敏感性。因此,为了准确预测热带森林对气候变化的反应,必须考虑种内性状变异性。个体之间和个体内部差异的不同环境和内在驱动因素导致碳获取/保护和用水特征之间的不耦合协调。我们的研究结果表明,即使在物种内部也有多种生态策略驱动热带树木分布,并反映了沿环境梯度的不同种群内部敏感性。因此,为了准确预测热带森林对气候变化的反应,必须考虑种内性状变异性。
