Abstract: Abstract Sustaining grassland production in a changing climate requires an understanding of plant adaptation strategies, including trait plasticity under warmer and drier conditions. However, our knowledge to date disproportionately relies on aboveground responses, despite the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.12881
Abstract: Aim: Phenotypic plasticity is hypothesized to contribute to a species’ capacity to occupy broader ranges of conditions and to optimally exploit resource-rich environments. Although this is supported by case studies of individual species, we do… read more here.

Evidence of climate‐driven selection on tree traits and trait plasticity across the climatic range of a riparian foundation species

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16645
Abstract: Selection on quantitative traits by heterogeneous climatic conditions can lead to substantial trait variation across a species range. In the context of rapidly changing environments, however, it is equally important to understand selection on trait… read more here.
