- •
Which traits can predict species relative abundance (SRA) remains largely unknown.
- •
We assessed the importance of traits predicting SRA in Tibetan alpine meadows.
- •
Species were differentiated along a trade-off in growth vs competition.
- •
A higher Leaf P was the most important trait predicting SRA in grazed community.
- •
Species with low LPC but higher LDMC held an advantage in ungrazed community.
