Research Abstract |
In order to restore plant community in semi-natural habitat such as agricultural meadows and understory vegetation in secondary woodlands, the study aimed to elucidate species groups and their characteristics that hamper rapid recovery after re-introducing human disturbance in semi-natural grasslands. In results, those did not recover soon just re-introduction human disturbance had leaf trait characteristics that showed high plasticity in specific leaf area and nitrogen concentration in leaf mass base between sun and shade leaves with tall plant height.
