Morphological plasticity of Primula nutans to hummock-and-hollow microsites in an alpine wetland.

Abstract excerpt

Hummock-and-hollow microtopography is common in wetlands of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The physical environment of hummocks contrasts strongly with that of hollows. To address how Primula nutans Georgi, a herbaceous species broadly distributed on the plateau, can inhabit both hummocks and hollows, we investigated the plasticity of its morphology and biomass growth in relation to the environmental variables...
