Plant functional traits (PFTs) are thecharacteristics of plant
species which respond to thedominant ecosystem processes of the
habitat.Information on PFTs related to morphological
andphysiological traits are lacking for the drydeciduous woody
species of Vindhyan highlands. In conclusion, present study
indicates that drydeciduous forests of India contain
considerablediversity of functional traits which are
highlyinfluenced by soil moisture conditions. Functionaltraits
examined were strongly affected by site, season and their
interaction, which might be due tophenotypic plasticity helping to
adjust to thecomposition of their communities, thereby
promotingcoexistence and community diversity. Species areadapted to
maximize growth by tolerating water stressfor the maximum possible
duration and when stressreaches the threshold they shed their
leavesrapidly.Photosynthetic rate of species is
prominentlyinfluenced by specific leaf area (SLA), leafchlorophyll
content and intrinsic water useefficiency and modulations in all
these traits governvariations in the relative growth rate (RGR) of
thedry tropical forest species
