Characterizing the plant functional traits of coffee agroecosystems in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: Indonesia, the world's third-largest coffee producer, is rapidly expanding coffee agroecosystems, often at the expense of deforestation. Understanding the ecophysiology of coffee agroecosystems is thus critical for assessing their impacts on the regional carbon cycle. However, current knowledge of coffee ecophysiology is largely derived from studies in Central and South America and equatorial Africa, with few observations from Indonesia despite its distinct climatic context and large area. In this study, we measured plant functional traits (i.e., leaf structural, physiological, and chemical traits) of coffee plants at four distinct sites in Java, Indonesia, to assess the spatio-temporal variations of coffee leaf traits along with their relationship with shade and reproductive output. We fo
