When measuring plant functional traits across geomorphologies, 5–10 healthy individuals of a plant species are commonly sampled. However, whether more individuals should be sampled in habitat-heterogeneous karst vegetation remains unknown. In this study, two dominant tree species (Clausena dunniana and Platycarya strobilacea) in karst evergreen and broadleaved mixed forests in Southwestern China were selected. On the basis of a large quantity of individuals of the two species grown in different peak clumps and slope positions, variations of 10 morphological traits in the two species were statistically analyzed. The suggested sampling number of individuals, which could mostly represent the common trait characteristics, was further explored. All traits showed significant differences between the two species (p |
