Multi-trait interactions, not phylogeny, fine-tune leaf size reduction with increasing altitude.

Annals of botany - 1 Mar 2011

Milla Rubén, Reich Peter B

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Despite long-held interest, knowledge on why leaf size varies widely among species is still incomplete. This study was conducted to assess whether abiotic factors, phylogenetic histories and multi-trait interactions act together to shape leaf size. METHODS: Fifty-seven pairs of altitudinal vicariant species were selected in northern Spain, and leaf area and a number of functionally related...
