Latitudinal and longitudinal clines of phenotypic plasticity in the invasive herb Solidago canadensis in China.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity is thought to be important for plants in variable environments. The climatic variability hypothesis poses that populations at higher latitudes, due to the stronger variation in temperature, there should be more plastic in response to temperature than populations at lower latitudes. Similarly, populations at locations with stronger precipitation fluctuations should be more plastic in response...
