Lower plasticity exhibited by high- versus mid-elevation species in their phenological responses to manipulated temperature and drought.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Recent global changes, particularly warming and drought, have had worldwide repercussions on the timing of flowering events for many plant species. Phenological shifts have also been reported in alpine environments, where short growing seasons and low temperatures make reproduction particularly challenging, requiring fine-tuning to environmental cues. However, it remains unclear if species...
