Plant physical and chemical defence variation along elevation gradients: a functional trait-based approach.

Oecologia - 1 Jun 2018

Abstract excerpt

Predicting variation in plant functional traits related to anti-herbivore defences remains a major challenge in ecological research, considering that multiple traits have evolved in response to both abiotic and biotic conditions. Therefore, understanding variation in plant anti-herbivore defence traits requires studying their expression along steep environmental gradients, such as along elevation, where multiple...
