Dear colleagues. Does anyone know of any work in which the criteria of functional traits of plants related to hydrological ecosystem services (e.g., hydrological regulation, drought mitigation or water saturation mitigation) has been used to spatially delineate an area for conservation planning, management, or decision making?
I think Moore et al. 2017 (Towards a trait-based ecology of wetland vegetation. Journal of Ecology 105: 1623-1635. doi:10.1111/1365-2745.12734) paper is enlightening from a conceptual aspect, but I need criteria and arguments from a spatial approach.
Thanks a lot
Dear Nicolás, I can't recall specific studies on that to be honest... what I have seen are studies relating the plant-soil interaction with a focus on water budget, but I can't recall that being used for planning purposes.
I found one article that could be mostly related to what you are looking for, hope it helps.
