To what extent is altitudinal variation of functional traits driven by genetic adaptation in European oak and beech?

Tree physiology - 1 Nov 2011

Bresson Caroline C, Vitasse Yann, Kremer Antoine, Delzon Sylvain

Abstract excerpt

The phenotypic responses of functional traits in natural populations are driven by genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity. These two mechanisms enable trees to cope with rapid climate change. We studied two European temperate tree species (sessile oak and European beech), focusing on (i) in situ variations of leaf functional traits (morphological and physiological) along two altitudinal gradients and (ii)...
