Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Leaf traits are known to be strong predictors of plant performance and can be expected to (co)vary along environmental gradients. We investigated the variation, integration, environmental relationships and evolutionary history of leaf functional traits in the genus Coffea, typically a rainforest understorey shrub, across Africa. A better understanding of the adaptive processes involved in...
