Background and Aims: Droughts induced by climate change are expected to affect tropical cloud forests. As functional traits are useful indicators of plant species performance, this study aimed to determine the effect of light environment and drought on leaf area (LA), specific leaf area (SLA), chlorophyll content, leaf thickness and toughness, survival and relative growth rate (RGR) of seedlings in forest understory and gap. Methods: In a cloud forest from Veracruz, Mexico, rainout shelters to simulate drought in the forest understory and gap were used. Leaf area, SLA, chlorophyll content, leaf thickness and toughness, survival, and RGR in Eugenia capuli (shade-tolerant understory tree), Liquidambar styraciflua (intermediate shade-tolerant ...
