Contrasting water strategies of two Mediterranean shrubs of limited distribution: uncertain future under a drier climate.

Abstract excerpt

Plants have evolved different strategies to cope with drought, involving alternative ecophysiologies and different levels of plasticity. These strategies are critical for species of limited distribution, which are especially vulnerable to the current rates of rapid environmental change. The aim of this study was to assess the water strategy of two species with limited distribution, Cneorum tricoccon L. and...
