Neopolyploidy causes increased nutrient requirements and a shift in plant growth strategy in Heuchera cylindrica.

Abstract excerpt

Functional traits fall along a continuum from resource conservative to acquisitive and are powerful predictors of the ecological settings necessary for a species to persist and establish. As a consequence, a major problem that functional trait analysis could address is understanding the ecological contexts necessary for the persistence of polyploid plants, because early generation polyploids, or "neopolyploids,"...
